What been happening at Churchill Downs is crazy.

I wonder how much insurance incoming for the owners there's been?
It's not a new problem, and it's not unique to Churchill Downs. I really want to like horse racing, but the more you learn about it the darker it gets.
Can Horse Racing Survive?
In a time of changing sensitivities, an ancient sport struggles to justify itself.

If PETA cared about the animals, they’d be all over horse racing & leave college mascots alone.
You're probably not wrong; Peta really doesn't matter and I'm not sure why people give them the attention they crave.
Because they do **** so unbelievably stupid it’s hard not to pay attention. If PETA was legimate and not a bunch of apeshit lunatics, it would probably be a cause most people would get behind.
Not that I care about PETA, but to their credit, being against horse racing is one of their top issues:
Horse Racing | PETA
Behind the romanticized façade of thoroughbred horse racing is a world of injuries, drug abuse, gruesome breakdowns, and slaughter.
