HORSE RACING....2. WITH PRACTICALLY NOTHING TO START WITH, THE NEW LINES COULD NOT COMPARE TO THOSE ON THE BLOCK BEFORE THEM. I HAVE NOTICED THE RISE IN BREAKDOWNS IN THE LAST 20 TO 30 YEARS. TO TOP IT OFF, DESPITE ADVANCED TRAINING TECHNIQUES, THERE HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY TRIPLE CROWN WINNERS SINCE BEFORE THAT DATE. THE HORSES DO NOT HAVE THE STAYING POWER THE HORSES FROM THE 70s AND PRIOR HAD. NOTICE THAT? I SURE HAVE. ADD TO THE MIX, MORE HORSES HAVE ENDED UP DESTROYED RIGHT WHERE THEY FALL ON THE TRACK. IT IS A SHAME. ONCE THE SPORT OF KINGS, NOW A HOPELESS SITUATION INVOLVING LESSER GRADE HORSES AND INFERIOR IN QUALITY AND THE STRENGTH NEEDED TO GO THE EXTRA MILE. I NEGLECTED TO MENTION THE SPATE OF FORMER TRACK STARS SOLD FOR MEAT DURING THAT TERRIBLE TIME. BARNS WERE DOING EVERYTHING TO BREAK EVEN. SELLING FOR MEAT, BY THE POUND, WAS ONE SURE WAY TO BRING IN THE BUCKS. DISGUSTING AND EVIL. UNCONSCIONABLE. JUST ANOTHER FACTOID IN THE UNSEEN UNDERSIDE OF THE SPORT OF KINGS. IT MEANT SOMETHING ONCE.
