ladys secret was mature enough, a race horse of this standing would have been conditioned. i have not watched a race since go for wand went down in the breeders cup. i do think it was a terrible tragedy. peta has its place but horse racing is a far cry from dog fighting. have you ever been to florida and seen some of the mansions they call horse stables. i could live in ocala. no this was just a terrible accident.

CMB, you’ve never been around horses have you?

Fillies don’t mature as fast as colts, and a horse that breaks both front legs wasn’t physically mature enough race. There’s a difference between misstepping and cracking a bone, and breaking both front legs. I do not agree with PETA and their methods, but I must say that the owner, jockey, and anyone else involved in putting that horse in the race should be suspended or heavily fined.

This is really sad, but PETA get a life.  If the ankles were broken before the end of the race the horse would have gone down then....
