I've been getting beat up by almost everybody because I'm a horse racing fan. 'How can you condone that, Hope you're happy with the money you made on the poor horse, etc.'.

I tell people that death/euthanasia occurs to less than two-tenths of one percent of the horses that race. That the horses are well-cared for and loved by their caretakers. I speak about Dr. Dean Richardson/Barbaro/New Bolton as a demonstration of what horse people will do for their horses - and how about Chelokee this past weekend? I mention Grayson-Jockey Club research foundation, Old Friends retirement, etc.
You can lead a brain to knowledge, but you can't make it think. You can hope so, though!
