[edit] That Old Chestnut

21 November 2008, by The Paulick Report has an article today that suggests it is possible that the Kentucky Derby field size could be limited going forward. As longtime readers of this blog now, this is a subject I like to kick around on a semi-annual basis and think that it has a lot more merit than one of the other ideas suggested in the wake of the Eight Belles situation - that of barring fillies from running against colts, which not only makes no sense from a safety perspective but further separates American rac

The challenge, brought to the fore this year by a series of widely publicized events but always lingering just off center stage, is the issue of animal welfare.

[edit] Big Brown Is Retired From Horse Racing

15 October 2008, by turner / CC It's official: Just weeks before he was to race in the Breeders' Cup, Big Brown has officially been retired from horse racing because of a serious foot injury. The 3-year-old horse, who earlier this year won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness and who outran Eight Belles before she collapsed and had to be euthanized on the track after the Kentucky Derby, has now himself succumbed to the dangers of horse-racing.

[edit] Eight Belles and Barbaro remembered. George Washington forgotten

1 September 2008, by Kathryn Levy Feldman runs an excellent blog called Something About Barbaro and her post on the burial of Eight Belles was certainly up to her usual high standards. But I am sorely disappointed that whenever the question of death on the track comes up, the tragic story of the great turf horse George Washington is always completely ignored. His death is especially tragic since he had already paid his dues, already proved he was a champion, already had won a lot of money for his owners, and had
