I think it's reprehensible. The fact that the horse was unhurt means nothing. Photos, TV, radio, print and are designed to illicit a response. This picture did for me. Saddness. All the glory we have out there to rejoice in and we're subjected to seeing these two brave athletes in a terror filled, vulnerable moment.

Just terrible.

One of my favorite equine photos is of the stretch drive in the 1997 Preakness. Free House has his eyes turned toward Silver Charm to his outside, and Free House looks enraged that Silver Charm is beating him. I believe the photo appeared on the cover of Blood Horse.
