Well thats exactly why people shouldnt race these horses like this. Stupid stuff like this happens and the horse gets the bad deal when they get hurt. The people that own them could care less because if the horse wins or places or whatever, they still make their money and can just buy another horse to race. The whole thing just makes me sick.

The people who own the horses care very much about them. The horses are bred to race... getting to watch them race makes you love them even more. You get to see them try their hardest and they do enjoy their job. Nobody can predict anything like this happening... but it's horrible when it does happen. If you considered injuries a reason not to race then there shouldn't be any sports... there are people hurt in nascar, baseball, hockey, etc...
