Thanks FLA... (none / 0) (#210)

As a huge racing fan I found your post very educational.  I always suspected drugs and diluted blood lines were to blame for the frailty of todays thoroughbred...I had no idea about horses being rushed to the track before they are ready.

I felt sick after the race...Eight Belles ran her heart out, she was the only one to even sniff Big Brown....a great performance that sadly ended in tragedy.  

Pretty lame of PETA to try and blame this on the jockey...I have no doubt that if the jock felt her go lame he would have pulled up.  As if the jockey doesn't surely feel sick enough about it, now he's got the arse-clowns at PETA trying to crucify him.  Jerks.
