Horse Racing Tragedy

I don't watch many sports, especially horse racing...but an unfortunate and very sad story ran across my television screen yesterday that had my stomach in knots. I'm sure many know exactly what I'm talking about. Eight Belles, a great horse died after being euthanized right there on the track due to having broke both of her ankles. I just think it's so sad. I don't know what it is...but I just have such love for animals of all kinds, including horses and this story really bothered me. I don't watch horse racing, and I don't think I"ll be starting to watch it any time soon. I can't stand to watch such a terrible thing happen to anyone, or anything!
