Alex Waldrop on FoxNews

[justindew]

Waldrop was on FoxNews just a moment ago arguing with some lady from PETA.

He seemed argumentative and rattled. He also said something that to me, an industry outsider, thought was a poor choice of words:

When the PETA rep questioned the administration of non-raceday drugs to horses for the purposes of numbing pain that might be indicitative of an injury, Waldrop asked, "So horses shouldn't get the same kind of medication that people do?"

If I had been the PETA rep, whom I disagree with, I would have said "Well no, they shouldn't be treated in the same way people are treated, because people don't have to be euthanized when they break their legs." Luckily, the PETA rep was asleep at the switch, or she was too buzy talking over Waldrop.

I would be curious to hear if any of the horsemen on this board think Waldrop's choice of words was poor.
