It is a magnificently competitive group. And yes, it is exciting to see. But what I wonder about is how many of those beautiful and trusting horses will end up with a dead bolt smacking them numerous times in the head until they fall the the floor to be strung up and slaughtered so they can be shipped off to Europe or Asia for human consumption...because they didn't perform well enough. Even Ferdinand, a triple crown winner, was sent to stud in Japan and ended up in a tortured inhumane slaughter. And FYI: We send over 100,000 horses every singe year to an inhumane slaughter of which the majority are not the sick and old but healthy and in the prime of their life.
