Great Article by Moss

I was also glad to see Moss include this proposal, which I don't remember seeing in any major media before:

"If the world's racing jurisdictions required sires and dams to be at least 5 or 6 years old before producing a registered thoroughbred, would the tide swing toward durability? Or would this simply result in more infirm horses staying in training and breaking down at later ages?"

Moss seems neutral on it, but at least he gets it out on the table.

There was also a nice piece written by Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News, in which he turns the table on PETA for its attack on Saez:

The Harrisburg Patriot-News ran that article in yesterday's Sports Section. The Patriot-News's editorial cartoon from yesterday was also about Eight Belles. It was by Mike Keefe of the Denver Post: You can find it from this link:
