actually the tongue is tied down so they dont play with the bit and get there tongue over it and choke only a few race with it! its not so they cant respond to the pulling of the mouth. INjuries happen just like any professional athlete, the funny thing is.. many of these horses upon retirement miss the track so much and make themselves sick that they are returned as pony horses. They arent forced, this is like a dog bred to hunt. Alot is done in this sport to protect the horses.
Umm why?...a thoroughbred race horse is bred to race pure and simple. If you don't like it don't watch it simple. I hate boxing but I don't moan that they should use pillows instead of boxing gloves so I don't watch it.
Wow what a race! Any one of those horses could have won. I think that the animal cruelty activists have got the wrong page. The trainers and owners love their horses and would never do anything to harm them. They get feed top shelf diets and are extremely well exercised. Do you count the calories for your pet and exercise them religiously? I doubt it. I'm offended to read that people are accusing this sport of being in humane, its the race that stops a Nation and now stops the World :)
It had to be a dead heat didn't it...the trouble is for the owner of the second horse is he will soon be forgotten ... the horse that is! Great race none the less!

I backed Red Cadeux after reading up on him and learning he was a good long distance runner. Spewing he lost by a nose hair.
