Both horses in question were felled by odd injuries. One took a misstep after training, fell and broke a shoulder. The other suffered a rare femur fracture -- rather than cannon. Every horse involved in 'Luck' has been guaranteed a safe home for the rest of their lives by HBO and Red Board.

The animal activists would only be happy if there was no racing... At that point of course, there would be no horses bred. Then what would they do with their lives?

yeah, not just no racing...no ownership at all for any reason. can't help but wonder if they've thought all that thru...how would dogs survive without humans to feed them? they are simply amazing. well, or morons-whatever you prefer to call them.
