Barbaro's boost to racing

[paisjpq]

I agree with you in general...but I don't necessarily think it is all good. I have had to defend the Jackson's decision to several friends who after seeing the footage of him on TV couldn't understand why he wasn't put down...that it would have been kinder to him...and these are experienced horse owners, and my farrier...they seem to feel like there was some greed involved or something...it's stupid, but I think it will be out there.
