What happens to all those millions of dollars of horseplayer winnings that go unclaimed every year...does anybody know where all that money ends up?
This general apathy - which feeds this abominable practice - should not be allowed to go on any longer.
These regal animals deserve more than that.

Now that's a good question, one I think we'd all like to know the answer to...where does all that money go?
By the way, since you mentioned Ferdinand...on Jan. 30th the HRTV show 'Inside Information" will have a show about him...it'll be a tear jerker, but a good show to watch, especially if it's as good as the one they had about Swale.
