I am active in "other sports" i.e. kayaking, rock climbing, canyoneering, snowboarding, white water rafting, and other outdoor sports. I run a lot, and I am athletic, put I do not consider myself an "athlete". I would think that jockeys and drivers, exert a lot during their "sports" and there is no doubt, they possess skill...but I do not consider them athlete's, in the same way I do not consider myself an athlete.

Although we do not seem to hear it too often, we do hear about these racing stables having to put down a horse because of leg injuries every now and then. Yes, accidents happen, but I would hate to see a horse, or any other animal, be destroyed because it was driven beyond it's physical means just to please us. The horse can't tell us that it's leg is not feeling well today.............Well, I guess Mr Ed could but...... Derek……..you bring up some interesting questions.

Peta is dumb, and they go overboard, in the other direction. I eat meat, but I think it is our responsibility to be kind and humane.

The issue would be was the horse too young, I am not sure the age of eight belles, but they have her reported as a filly, that is typically a horse under the age of 4, most horses are still developing until 2 1/2 or 3, and then building muscle until 5 or 6. So would she have sustained those injuries if she had been allowed more time to develop before being raced? Also, when did the fractures occur? if the jockey suspected something mid race, he should have stopped, dismounted, and gotten medical attention for the animal. That is difficult, but jockeys are paid very well to know their animal. It is very tragic, eight belles was beautiful.
