Ask any of them about a horse named Cadillac Cruiser who is no longer with us.
The only response you'll get other than "huh ?", will undoubtedly be
"no, I'm not aware of him. What happened ?".
If PETA really cared, they would have been all over that incident and been
just as enthusiastic about exposing what they hate about our game.
OH THAT'S RIGHT !!!! That requires work !
Allowing blogs on their site, from know-nothings who bitched about
Eight Bells running ( yeah that's right, the author claimed she raced )
for the 2nd consecutive day on 5/3/2008, doesn't require any work at all.

When you have a store, you don't advertise your smallest products. You advertise your flashiest items and hope they come in and buy the smaller stuff as well.
Now, PETA focusing on Eight Belles and ignoring the little horses might seem like bad logic, but if you think about if they win whatever they're trying to do, that effect would trickle down to all horses as well, so it makes sense. I don't see the problem on focusing on the most popular horse, as if they focused on some $5,000 claimer no one would care about their cause. But by focusing on Eight Belles, they are trying to make people look at all the racehorses in general, and they get that attention by focusing on the most famous one.
