Of course that would be the giant problem with it. Whether we like it or not these horses are someone's property. They shouldn't have to report what they are doing with their horse once their racing career is over as long as it's legal.

And should we just keep track of horses that race? What about those bred, but aren't good enough to race? It's a nice, but totally unrealistic thought.

I never said it was realistic. Most things aren't. But to report in every year on horses that ran shouldn't be that big a problem. Even to just check a box that says "SOLD-Whereabouts unknown."

So it's unrealistic, but the Jockey Club is low class for not doing it. Makes sense.

It's not realistic to turn down names because they are too commercial. But they do it all the time. They should spend that time on taking care of horses and the world would be a better place. IMO.

LOL. As it is night it is black. Which is not a color. Go figure.

Thanks for the link, my miss storm cat. I hope he finds a happy home to live the rest of his years.

I am still waiting to find out which championship that the horse in question won.
