Default OT but it is time for the 134th Kentucky Derby
Posted By: Dan Bretta

Nearly 800 thoroughbreds die every year in North America from race related injuries. I'm not trying to equate a horse with a human, but don't you think if 800 NASCAR drivers died every year due to race related injuries they'd try to improve the safety of the sport?

Not every horse is a winner either and what do you suppose happens to those horses who aren't winners? It ain't pretty.
