Horse racing is a disgusting industry. I love horses and I love working with and riding them. Unfortunately, due to my love, appreciation, and respect for equines, I am vehemently against this and other exploitative horse sports. Too many are dying and being proven to be trained with abusive methods. I don’t even need to explain what is wrong with the racing industry. The numerous deaths throughout the year, every year, speak for themselves. There could be a right way but we are far from that currently. Very sad and disappointed to see it condoned…too many horses dead m, injured, and sent off to slaughter because of these selfish people. It’s heartbreaking and it’s just plain wrong.

The Amish are far worse than any equine sport.

I am old. I resumed watching racing because too many love it -- horses especially! I feel like I can do more by promoting research, especially into pasture. Farmers clear pasture with herbicides and add artificial ingredients that cwn make animals sick. But there is equine research, but they need support politically and financially. The greed and selfishness is in politics behind research. Of course there are greedy people in racing, but they are outnumbered by people who love horses, i.m.o. Horses LOVE to race. They race against each other in the pastures. They get excited by a track or a field.
