And the breeders and yearling sale gamblers who create this incentive are helping to destroy the sport.

Sometimes, there are things one has a right to do, and which one benefits from doing, but which are nonetheless awful things to do. This is one of those situations.

But, what about seeing and handicapping him in virtual horse racing which some tracks are implementing?
