PETA undercover in Asmussen's barn - Whoa!

[Duvalier]

Didn't this story break a little early? Don't they usually wait until Derby week to release their sensationalized discoveries?

Maybe they wanted to catch the Hall of Fame voters before they cast their ballots.

Someone should go undercover into Peta and make a 10 minute highlight of their shenanigans. They would cease to exist very soon afterwards.

Right. They should have to explain why over 80% of the animals that came into their care in 2013 were euthanized.

Business as usual today folks...Move on.. The HBO doc on dog hustlers was way worse. Watching Dr. Hunt give a horse an injection is hardily cruelity to animals. Lasix is a preformance enhancer who cares it isnt bad for horses if used properly (small doses) and if good people rehydrate them with care and cobcern.

Remember there are a lot of fine horsemen who use drugs medicinally and a lot of caring hard working trainers, grooms, hots etc. that call this industry their home and love the horses and the sport. Steve Assumussen did a poor job supervising his staff and as such needs to be accountable.

Surely we arent babes in the woods. Surely we realize that when X trainer is 41% off the claim AND we bet the horse that horse has gone to a trainer and barn that is much more aggresive campaign of medication.

Those cute pictures of foals that Darley, Juddemonte and other organizations post on twitter isnt racing its breeding. Racing is brutal not cute and fuzzy.

found it interesting Angel Cordero's face was not blurred out at dinner when Blasi was talking about horses not making it to the track and dying.
