Rabbit or not he deserved better than to die on a track somewhere in Pennsylvania running for a few thousand dollars.

I just get really sad when I see horses who had been at a certain level sink this far.

It's my problem and it's reality... it can be a brutal sport on many levels.

Doesn't mean I have to go silently into the night and accept these things without feeling like someone has a knife in my heart.

Okay that was a little overboard but you know what I mean.
He is a race horse he was bred to race not eat hay and oats and be a pet. Apparently he is still running ok if he wins he will make an owner 6k a trainer and jock 600 a piece and a vet will have to shot him up again. Basically he is a small business, because 6 years ago he was way faster changes everything? It's not like he is in a kill pen he is feed 14qts a day and cared for what do you desire for him a cabana in St Lucia?

After Equine Medical is done with Ball Four at Penn Nat he thinks he is Maui smoking ganga.. Maybe Juan Carlos claims him and takes him to Philly and you will see his return to glory?

You have some races where horses are finishing their last quarter in 30+. He'll be competitive.
