At the Breeder's Cup today they had to put down a horse which was injured during the race. Does anyone have any experience with what's done to protect horses from these injuries? The story of Barbaro is encouraging because it looks like he's going to recover, but all the stories about horses that have to be euthanized because of injuries during a race just break my heart, because it's just a sport, and the destruction of a magnificent animal seems so avoidable... can anyone help me understand??
