I do think the incident with the filly was just an unfortunate accident but it came on the heels of the other two deaths and was just the last straw. And to find out they were using old sick horses is just horrible. I feel badly for all those who are out of work but safety comes first.

I agree, he was much better than Toby Maguire, and it would be interesting to see him in a non-horse related role.

What a class act Ramon is - he was thankful the horse didn't break down-which he thought she did.

Poor guy - it's not looking good for the Derby..

I'll have to wait until I get home to read this, but that's too bad, missing the Derby.

Dominguez got encouraging report from doctors today. May only miss a couple of weeks. Scheduled for MRI Tuesday to learn more.

I saw a comment on another thread about that, if anyone on the racing channels commented, I missed it.

Best guess? People close to this business accepted a long time ago that horses die on the track . Maybe they think it would draw more hard core sports gamblers to racing, and it is true racing will die without betting.
