I'm not going to look down upon those who don't feel the same way about it as I do, but understand that there are those like me (and MMSC) that feel an emotional attachment to these animals because they died doing something that WE made them do. I love this sport and won't ever stop watching it, but I still feel like we owe some kind of respect for the animals that make HORSEracing what it's all about.

Great post.
I'm in this bracket too...in fact I don't bet at all.
Very sorry to hear about Super Frolic.
