At this level, care and caution is extensive. And thoroughbreds with their pencil-like legs are bred to run. Without racing, they will disappear and this has a downstream effect on horse-breeding in general. Something that even backyard horse owners will feel.

I didn’t watch the race, but clicked on the channel and saw the aftermath. Ugh, the one dude was downright abusive trying to get the horse under control after the race. It made me sick to my stomach.

Right before it started I chose him. I like longshots and that one caught my eye.
