Far...FAR too many horses breakdown and die every year, we need to keep searching for answers and it needs to be THE HIGHEST PRIORITY...not only for the horses but to protect those brave little folks who sit atop them! I think the article, while certainly antagonistic, has a place in the debate and I support this guy's right to put it out into the public domain....these pieces will cease to be published when racing does it's part to safeguard all aspects of the sport!
