Exiled, you must be new to horse racing. I have been involved in racing for only about 40 years and your statement that horses are often run to death just isn't true. You might want to check your sources on that. Yes it is true that some have to be put down due to injury, but believe me it's very few compared to the number that run on any given day. However, in a dog fight, the object of the game is for one to be carted out dead. Now where are these two similar? Anyway, i'm not meaning to jump your case, I just wanted to set the recoed straight on the horse racing thing.

P.S. Oh by the way, you'd be surprised at the number of "poor" people that participate in horse racing. The tracks you see on TV aren't the only ones in the country. Horse racing is open to anyone of any color. We have one of the top trainers in the country(he's black by the way) and I love him dearly. We all started years ago on small Louisiana dirt tracks. You might try it sometime. You might change your mind

Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot, than to open it and remove all doubt!!!!!
