She needs a Big Mac with fries BAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

break her back, **** her ***, make her humbel like old country way.

It almost seems that Moss (the white one, pretty funny stuff) is trying to appease the PETA people by saying what he did. I look at the whip as tool that the jocks need. Some guys are just better with it than others. But by taking it away, doesn't mean that horses will never break down again. Everyone saw where Barbaro got hurt. It is always unfortunate when a horse goes down, but the bottom line is that they are just very fragile athletes. By the way did PETA make any noise after Chelokee went down on Friday or were not enough people watching?

Well I believe Oprah was on the same time as the Oaks.

damn man, she looks skinner than the andersonville prisoners.

or dr phil...do people really watch that crap? oh..wait, the view is still on too, isn't it? ugh

IMO, yes.

By the way, I love Big Truck. Shush. :p

Wasn't on national tv. I was waiting for someone to mention the Rolex event. Thanks Steve.

It was on NBC on sunday. Just 1 hour of highlights though. I didn't see it so I don't know if they mentioned the falls, but they have shown them in years past.

yeah, they have. i was watching an event last year, may have been the rolex...anyway, horse was doing very well, but yards from the finish, he stepped wrong. they said later that he had to be put down, i figured he would be just from what i saw.

I get what the original post is saying, but I don't believe the economic impact of horse racing relates to what the protesters are saying about horses being killed.

To just to clarify my position about whether horseracing is cruel or not, I don't think that horseracing is cruel to all racehorses. If you have a pretty sound horse that is in a barn of a trainer that is competent and conscientious, then I think that horse will have a pretty good life. That horse will be taken extremely good care of. In a situation like that, I don't see any cruelty. Unfortunately, most racehorses are not in situations like that.

Wonder why they weren't protesting after that nice Graham Motion thing broke down badly behind in the BC Mile a couple of years ago.

Funfair - By Singspiel out of a Mr. P Mare.

I thought that was a nice horse. Nicer than a Honeybee winner at least.

It does when they try to relate racing to underground animal death matches.

While i do Not agree with Peta & Their Supporters & think personally that they should be put in a truck with a pipe from the exhaust to the back of the truck :rolleyes: ......uuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm i Digress ,
I do feel ( At the risk of being booed ) that we have strayed way to far in the chase for speed in the durability of racehorses, with conformation faults commonplace " i go to the sales now & if i see a horse without any i think slow horse" it was while i was listening to one of your shows steve with the bloke who has storm cat that i thought gee we really are getting carried away with times in the end does it matter what time the horse wins by ? or that so long as it wins ;) .
I would like to see the german attitude with racing taken where a stallion cant stand unless its won a major race & mustnt have major confirmation fault sure it might make the racing slower but maybe not:confused: .
Side note unfortunately seen quite a few racehorses break down nothing could have stopped the unfortunate accident with eight belles with 500 & up kilos on a bone no bigger than the size of two of your fingers under increased pressure one fetlock snaps forcing the horse at speed onto the other fetlock which snaps as well :(

I can say that this has been quite common recently in this country...although the jockeys here use it much less frequently, so maybe it comes as an unexpected thing to the horses here.
