It’s hard on the jockeys, too. I became less than a fan when I learned that every horse that races in So. Cal. is given an anti-bleeding drug so they don’t bleed in their lungs.

But where does one draw the line? Rodeo is cruel. Boxing is cruel. Football is cruel. Or is dangerous a better word? There was a bike racing fatality last week.

All I know is that in Thoroughbred racing, the advances in equine veterinary care are only because of the races.
