Am I the only person who gets irritated with the "poor helpless animals" line of thinking because it seems that, for all of the intended concern for racehorses, that non-racing people seem to think horses are stupid? I got into it a bit with one of the letter writers on Salon's site, who thinks that jockeys are the only athletes involved in the sport...
Well...Sally Whatever needs to learn a bit more about the sport before writing about it...and no, I feel the same way!
