Bill Parcells and Melanie Giddings had an easy answer Sunday. They were on the sales grounds looking at yearlings to buy tonight.

If you're involved in the game and don't have the ability to provide explanation to outsiders that legitimately inquire, then you lack the conviction or passion to be involved.

As for moral responsibility concerns, as a point of reference, while Saturday's card was being run about 800 veal calves, aged 14-16 weeks and kept tethered to limit muscle strength, were slaughtered for francaise and scallopini. Then another 800 Sunday.. and today.. and tomorrow.

Also, an estimated 5,000 Premarin mares in North America remain imprisoned, forcibly pregnant and immobile for their harvested urine for estrogen replacement therapy, their foals a by-product sold for meat.

But please go on about moral responsibility and the ever-decreasing number of horses that die in competition.. now less than 400 a year.
