And, for those that put in the effort to get a horse on to the track, all I can tell you is there is incredible care and patience. When one is injured, or worse yet euthanized, there is an emotional loss.
Interesting thread.
agree....hell there is emotional loss to the fan, I can't imagine being and owner, trainer, and probably the one that endures the greatest pain, the groom...
