I grew up around racehorses in South Africa and have always loved racing. But after this Kentucky Derby and the heartbreak of seeing that beautiful Horse Eight Belles being put down I will never watch racing again. It was too too sad.

It was very sad. Any time an animal is put down it's sad.
Please don't give up on racing, it doesn't happen that often.

But, the athletes chose to play that way and they're not put down. I never knew before that they raced injured horses. I the whole thing is disgusting. :verymad:
