I'm only advising them that if they think that someone else's race horse snapping a leg is one of life's tragedies ... then they're in for quite a few much bigger shocks down the road.

I'm 26, but I've still witnessed death and sickness. Cancer and heart disease has wreaked havoc on my family and a close friend has terminal cancer. I've put 3 dogs to sleep due to pain and suffering... all life tragedies. And I viewed what happened to Michael Matz, Edgar Prado etc, as a life tragedy. You know Bold... sometimes, the way that you word things can be very hurtful to others that may see things differently than you do. I apologize for making an assumption about your life. You're correct... that was wrong of me.
