She knows that but shes trying to start trouble.
I've never celebrated a horse breaking down, they are inocent creatures.
My point was to illustrate that this stuff is not the answer we are having jammed down our throats.
Quite frankly, I think Janks had it right on ATRAB this summer when she said that TRAINERS need not be running sore horses.
Perhaps my critic can tell me(because she knows OH so much about this) how many guys in California have increased the work patterns of their horses to every 6 days instead of every 7 days(which was too much to begin with!!!). I can name two who have and it sickens me.
Thats really my point, this stuff is a crock of **** and if it all it does is make trainers think they can go out there and pound em even harder than they already do, we will end up in EVEN worse shape.
Watching horses break down makes me nauseous.
And the inference that i would celebrate this, for any cause, is sickening.
I'd maybe celebrate one of these little crooked pinheads getting a whack, but never an innocent creature. Really "classy" to make an accusation that I'm celebrating rather to ask me to clarify my intent. I'm sarcastic most of the time, and this time was no different. WHen I said this stuff is great, I was referring to the polytrack. Racing's "salvation" that doesn't seem to be doing much except lining some pockets and causing trainers to overwork horses who were overworked in the first place.
