How pathetic are the observers and profiteers of this shameless sport to have reduced themselves to such barbaric exploitation of these wonderful animals. My recommendation from here on out is that each time one of these animals is euthanized, we also euthanize it's trainer and jockey.

At the very minimum, horses should have their legs X-rayed for weaknesses to ensure they are strong enough to race.

Horse racing is an extremely inhumane "sport," and does not need to be encouraged by large races such as the Kentucky Derby!
