lol mera, good one. chalk another one up for PETA. training and making these youngsters run at these events is not good for their health. i do feel sorry for our equine youngsters, not their connections.

Nothing better than 2yr olds under tack breezing in 9 seconds flat and being jacked up with juice. I dont feel bad for the consigner at all, you treat these horses how they need to be treated and you wont have 2 year olds dying of heart attacks.

I wonder if he died from: A.The eighty pounds of daily steroids he is given.B.Under the knife while getting cosmetic surgery to remove the minor imperfections,or C.Being whipped profusely till he bleeds so he can run in under 21 seconds.? Hmmmmm.
