[QUOTE="Alan, post: 315682, member: 378"] After reading the post on Barbaro, it renewed some angry thoughts about the TB industry. 1. They run 2 yr old races, which means the horses are started hard as long yearlings. 2. They breed so many horses just to run, the many horses that don't make the cut end up as dog food, or just buried on the property. A waste of horse that should never have been born. 3. It's an industry that allows bad things to go on at the lower levels, drugs, tazers (sp), corruption amongest the trainers and jockeys (again at the smaller tracks). 4. For whatever reason, not allowing AI into the breeding picture. With DNA testing, I see no reason not the have AI or embryo transfers. Just a bunch of stuffed shirts wanting to keep the club private and their rules, regardless of how many horses they hurt. :mad: But, because of the money behind the people involved it will probably never be changed. Enough money to buy any influence they need. Just some angry thoughts this morning... back to my coffee and some jokes in the coffee shop. Alan [/QUOTE]
