The issue of horses being juiced is valid and worthy of coverage by a show like REAL Sports. So was their story about jocks struggling with weight/eating disorders. So was the Chicago Tribune's continuing coverage last year of horses breaking down at Arlington.I guess it just bothers me that these are the only stories of the sport these people tell. .

DIdnt we just have an entire month devoted to a Barbaro special?

ANd the year or two before that we had Seabiscuit the book and movie. Now we have Ruffian coming to a theatre near you.

Speaking in generalities is surely not an accurate way of presenting anything.
