Kentucky's ongoing attempt to end racing in state proceeds..

[cmorioles]

Lets keep this simple. Pretend horse racing wasn't legal today. Now, imagine somebody proposed it as a gambling venture nationally. They give all the positives, the money and jobs it can generate, etc. At the end of the proposal, they mention, "Oh, by the way, pretty much every horse is going to be injected with a drug so they don't bleed in the lungs before they race." What do you think the chances are racing would be approved?

I put it at right around 0%, but certainly no higher than 0%.

That's not true.

Some group of self righteous vets would lobby for it, saying the drug is totally safe, and in fact, everyone and everything should be on it.

Nicely done! (But still 0% chance it would be legalized under those conditions)

Legalized? Who said anything about legalized?

After the vet and drug lobbies got after them, it would be mandated!
