Boycott. I'm beginning to think it may be the only way.

You can't really think a boycott would work? It would leave too much value in the pools.

I would add jockeys with tiny brains to the list, but that's just me.

true...but no doubt there are crops that would smoke those horses.

the shame isn't the speed of the horses-it's the lack of racing by those top tier horses.
racing shouldn't concern itself with lasix, which isn't a big evil imo. encouraging more owners, cleaning up trainers, enticing more fans-those are some of the things the sport needs to address.
