Wow, cowdog77, your post #117 is very brave. The small number of self-appointed "experts" on these Barbaro threads insist that race horses are treated better than the family pet, and that everyone in the sport has nothing but the utmost concern for the horses. It's the way it is. Get over it. (I hope you realize I'm being deliberately sarcastic, but actually applaud what you wrote.)

You knew I'd respond to that post, because I think it'd be wrong not to. When people post things like that, broadly condemning the horse sport as characteristically cruel, even on this board, it plays right into the hands of the animal rights activists who believe all forms of animal ownership and animal sport is cruel, inhumane and ought to be stopped. I think they're wrong. Do you?

If anyone tries to blame what happened on Edgar Prado or Micheal Matz, I feel like I will go ballistic. If I had race horses, these are the two guys I would want taking car of them.
