Using animals to make a profit, shortening the horses life by all that training and racing. It's only a matter of time. #horselivesmatter

But they have gay broadcasters though. Should count for something.

I was a horse race fan until I visited Church Hill Downs and got real close to the horses. They are very young and frail looking. That is not evident when you watch them on TV. They are very skittish and no telling what drugs they give them. To young for that kind of training. Their bones are not all mature yet. I am a previous owner of a young horse although not a thoroughbred.

The Tennessee Walker Horse Breeder and Exhibitor's Association has been under fire from the Humane Society for alleged "soring," inflicting cuts around the horse's hooves to produce a more higher, more pronounced step in competitions. It's a fact TWHBEA has had difficulty refuting, considering the charge has been verified by former association horse owners and trainers.

I'm surprised the Derby doesn't have some doping scandals. Maybe they have, but I'm not much of a race fan so I don't follow the sport closely.

When the horses retire, they get paid to frick. Well their owners do at least. Enough said.

Do the horses drink Coke before the race?

This is absurdly ignorant.
