I watched it out of curiousity and I'm not even sure what point they were trying to make. They focused mostly on breakdowns and showed repeated video of horses breaking down on track. They mentioned drug use but only pointed out snake venom and viagra, with no mention of the fact that snake venom is a banned substance (I'm assuming viagra would be but I wasnt even aware it was something that was used). And they only interviewed one person, the CEO of Santa Anita. Overall it was just bad reporting. To the uninformed it basically said horse racing is bad and kills animals and people.
