We have reservations at an offtrack betting restaurant here in Maryland for today and the Preakness in a couple weeks. But I'm going to do some betting online before I go; even the offtrack places are crowded! :-)

 And another overly bred 17 hands high Filly >>> Eight Belles ??/ Second place horse ,, pulled up lame with 2 broken front ankles at finish ...Euthanized while laying in the dirt of the track ... When will these breeders start breeding back in some Arabians ,, and strengthen the bones in the legs again ,,, >>.

It so sad that the horse was injured and had to be put down.

It always breaks my heart! The horses are trained and raced when they are way too young and bones are not completely matured and strong enough. It's all big money, showing off, etc. The rich and the powerful. We have a Quarter horse training facility near us where the horses are abused, etc. World class reining horses come out of there, and are perfectly behaved because they are afraid not to. The owners are wealthy and never see what the animals go through. Just see the shows!! This guy starts them out tied to the round pen in two feet of mud, and they stand all day like this til they stand still. That's how he teaches the two or three year olds to tie, because he wants instant results! It's all for money!!!

I love the Kentucky Derby. I go every year.
Sad about Eight Belles true...but it happens in horse racing. It even happens to horses just walking around their barns or running in fields. Opening the stud book may help, but changing the breed could cause more problems than it solves. |
