They found the horse in a feedlot going to slaughter. It is not like he had been receiving quality care. It is a real stretch to singularly blame drugs for that horses problems.

I've been to New Holland in Pa. a couple of times and the condition of the non-thoroughbred horse were just sickly to look at and most of T-breds were in o.k. condition. Most of horses were not getting quality care like you said. It's sad to see how some people treat this wonderful animals.

It is horrible but a different topic. I am always suspect when no details are given. Just because they said that the horse had raced with a broken pelvis does not mean it was true. If it was true then why not show some video of his last race?

Well it's a given that you shouldn't believe everything you hear on a show that has a reporter that looks like an anorexic version of Grandpa Munster.

Yeah they should showed a video of his/her last race. "Real Sports" was trying to push their own agenda on the sport.

It really was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Some of the things that they brought up are valid points.
