OT but it is time for the 134th Kentucky Derby

Posted By: Bob Pomilla

Look how many of the top thoroughbreds are breaking down in big races, then imagine the plight of the claimers. These horses are drugged, beaten and raced to death, as they offer no value, either in winning big purses or in breeding.

Matthew:

Since these horses can no longer earn money in races, it's more profitable to euthanise and collect the insurance. Also, horses tend to panic when they come out of anesthesia and flail about, destroying the work done on them. Remember the wonderful, tragic filly, Ruffian?
