Everyone needs to hear it. The only thing you did not touch on is how many T/B are born each year, never to be good enough to race or breed and are sold to slaughter houses. Also SHAME on the so called jockey. I have watched and watched the tape of the running. Coming down the home stretch she threw her head to one side and ever so slight broke stride. He continued to whip her to keep her going. The little CREEP knew she was hurt. I am a member of "The WindChill Legacy" Forum. We all thank you for telling the truth on this terrible"sport" that ranks up there with bullfighting and rodeos. Sharon Thank you Joe for telling the TRUTH. Everyone needs to hear it.
