60 competed and 2 died. And nary a peep from these frauds. If they were so concerned about ethical treatment, why no outcry then?
This would not be an argument that I would advance. You decry the lack of a "united" front among those in the horse industry - and then take a shot at a non-racing segment of it.

Understand your point. What I'm suggesting is that those attacking racing because of Saturday's events were oblivious to horses in far greater peril 50 miles away a week before. They're insincere and this is one major example of their insincerity. I'm not expecting Eventing and Thoroughbred Racing to provide a unified front. I'm asking that Racing take care of itself here.
