I get very sad when horses break down. I can't stand to see it. I usually avoid horse racing for awhile after incidents such as this. Steeplechase? Don't even get me started on that sorry excuse of a sport. Too bad the horses can't ride the owners and make them jump shit.

Think of the people who owned the horse that died.

It's a double edged sword. On one hand you do feel bad for the owners and the horse but on the other, it makes you wonder if they are sad because they had strong feelings of attachment to the horse or are they sad because they just lost their meal ticket.

Fuck, I might start drinking early today.
