And much of the love for the horse is the breeding, not the running. And that imo, ruins the sport. Puts him in the shed depriving me of seeing yet another great horse continue to run. I like to watch horses run. I personally dont give a rats .... what their babies are like.

I like the horses as individuals, not some sort of pedigree dog show animals with fat ladies trotting them about because they look so well. A little hand clap, splendid...

Thats not racing. Racing is for athletes. The horses are great athletes.
I love Bernardini for his talent and his performances on the track. I don't care one bit what his breeding is...
