You know Vanessa, I don't know what we would do with horses today if not for kiddie rides, glue and dog food factories. God made these beautiful creatures to run, they love to run, it's what they do. Horse racing keeps these beautiful thoroughbreds with us. Yes, there are going to be deaths, it's a natural thing, even in the wild horses break legs and have heart attacks. But I for one, am glad that I get to see these beautiful creatures doing what they love to do, and do best. Run.
