niether do i . dirt racing is a rough game. running over the dirt track is not the horses natural habitat. its not a "freak" thing when so many fillies have either broke down or lost careers going vs. the boys. it does not matter if they are as fast or can win, the toll and stress it puts on the horse is too much. these good horses have alot of heart and will, in competition they willl push themselves over the edge. people might want to see them win , but its not worth the horses well being to do so . i also think its not good for racing. many people that don't follow the game were watching yesterday, including kids. they saw a horse that would of been a champ with her own kind. laying on the track. its still a game , its not a war. its not worth the risk.
