So call for the end of chuckwagon racing if that's how you feel (and i get it, i really do), but realize in doing so that is a death sentence for virtually every other thoroughbred who doesn't do well at the race track and needs to retire. Which is about 99% of them after 4 years.

So much this.
If you could talk to a horse and ask it if it wanted to be glue/dog food/eaten in France or race chuckwagons, I wonder what it would choose???
