A broken bone can be healed, surely, and the horse given/sold as a "pet" but to euthanise simply because they can't race & win more for the trainer/owner, I don't get that. I hope, Jill, that your point is taken on board by some of them!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749442465184026244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674146881914421516.post-66870990671009756992008-05-08T09:15:00.000-07:002008-05-08T09:15:00.000-07:00Excellent - I'm glad Jill is going to get a chance...Excellent - I'm glad Jill is going to get a chance to address this. I was sickened and outraged when I found out about Eight Belles fate...especially since I've learned that alot of the TBs at Shiloh come from the track after winning money and actually doing well. Then they are just thrown away - it makes me sick.<BR/><BR/>There was an article in the Review Journal the day after the Derby that talked about the "Moral Crisis in TB Racing" and I completely agree. The stats given were something like 1 or 2 horses are put down for every 1,000 that race due to breakdown injuries - not cool.<BR/><BR/>The owners and trainers claim to love these animals and I'm sure some of them do, but there are more out there that use them to further their own interests.<BR/><BR/>Anyway - go get'm Jill!<BR/><BR/>:)annaearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974105734893320093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674146881914421516.post-78662770297881336192008-05-07T19:51:00.000-07:002008-05-07T19:51:00.000-07:00Soooo glad about the interview! As NASDAQ's name ...Soooo glad about the interview! As NASDAQ's name was 'Closing Bell' do you think he's any relation to Eight Belles? Just wondering... We're so blessed that ANY of the horses at Shiloh even survived their previous life- even though we had a small house fire on Sat., I had to 'carrot' the horses on Sunday, to let them know how loved they are... Good catch on Plymouth, Sabine! Good luck on the interview, Jill!KellyByrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621222138126766123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674146881914421516.post-73821748430405558902008-05-07T16:43:00.000-07:002008-05-07T16:43:00.000-07:00Interesting...I hope Jill mentions to Jon Ralston ...Interesting...I hope Jill mentions to Jon Ralston that horses aren't skeletally mature at age 2 or 3<BR/> :-(Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049140530232055505noreply@blogger.com
