Was looking at the paper over the w/end, and noticed another horse fell over and broke his leg or something, leading to his being "put down". My question is, is there something about horses where their legs are beyond putting a cast on, to the point where they can't recover to at least live the rest of their life out happily being a breeder or something? I really get angry when I hear of another horse being sent to the glue factory when they've "out-lived their usefullness." Maybe we should start putting jockeys down if they break their "riding" arm, they're no longer usefull... I mean, I was reading that Takeover Target was bought for something like $5500, and has now earned over $1 million for his owners. I mean, he's earned 200 times what his owners paid for him, in my opinion he's earned the rest of his life after he's done racing already. So if he breaks a leg on Saturday, is he gonna be put down? That would suck out loud, IMO...
