i hate hearing these stories. why has money replaced honor? that horse was a favorite of mine. he was one the hardest runners out there. i can see why mig spoke out. that horse kind of reminded me of fourstardave. he ALWAYS gave GOOD account win or lose. to throw him aside like this is a sin........i guess i'm an animal lover but these horses spill their guts WIN or LOSE. its just not right to turn on them just because they can't race anymore. they give us excitement and memories that last a lifetime but are somehow "expendable"....just not the right track.....people can do better!

thanks, i got pinwheel from my condition (chronic vertigo)...i know i'm a dizzying pain in the ass...especially in that retarded political forum and basically talking crap. but, one thing i am serious about is animal abuse and neglect..animals like horses ,dogs and cats never judge, never hold contempt. they'll love you and trust you to the end if you are an "animal" person and can relate to them. i love them. the best trainer/owner is NOT some moron that mistreats his animals to win a horse race, its the person that cares about their welfare FIRST and wins anyway. LIKE THEY ARE FAMILY. i'm not a fan of PITA but racing should avoid these stories so those radicals don't have a leg to stand on.....besides it being the right thing to do which unfortunately is becoming "offbeat" in the current culture. people like mig, bobby frankel and all these retired horse foundations are heros to me.

thanks for the update. why do think i love animals? they are SO EASY to get along with, they really are. when i first started commenting here(derby trails)...i was pretty sick and bitter. alot of time i was just venting and it probably was not pleasant to some. i'd write things just to inflame the situation. my fault is a lack of humility, which leaves me using this keyboard as a weapon some times...others here do it too but i'm feeling like I was WRONG. seeing the way sick,old and disabled animals and PEOPLE are treated in this country really made me rethink my actions. these beings are not junked cars! i'm telling you these kind of things really bug me and make me think. instead of ranting and raving i'm going positive. instead of using my ability to express ideas(write) to win arguments or hurt people...i'd rather focus on these issues that really can make things different....in a BETTER WAY.....like these people do to save these horses! you should not be sorry.....i am
