I am assuming half of you ppl in this thread are very well educated in the art of HorseRacing and Horses in general. Well....I highly doubt that and everyone putting their two cents acting like they have first hand interactions with horse racing. Yes, its f**ked up the horse died, but we argeed it was the right thing to do when the horse broke its legs.
To my point: Yes, the horse would prob. still be livingtoday if it didn't race. But you so rarely hear about them killing horses becuase of these events. The horses are treated so well by the trainers and everyone else thats involved with them. If you are treated bad you will most likely perform badly. Its rare for this to happen to my knownledge and s**t happens.
