PETA isn't intelligent enough to make something like this work and they aren't interested in doing it....unless there is a lot of press in it for them.
Bingo.
What makes you think that PETA wants to get involved with say Tuesday night racing at Mountaineer? No national focus, no media of any kind and so on. All PETA likes to do is pile on something when the media spotlight is on. Obviously Eight Belles is the best example in the bigest race of the year with the whole country watching. It was a perfect forum for those frauds. All that talk about Eight Belles on Derby Day. It's funny, I didn't hear a single mention from PETA about Chelokee breaking down in the Alysheba the day before. I guess not enough people were watching.

Keep them far away from the sport.
