Why I do :

only IF the horse is in good shape and treated well, I agree with it and not beaten to death if they lose.

Why I don't :

because people gamble over which horse is going to win and some race horses out there are mistreated or beaten if they lose.
This is exactly how I feel. I think if the horse is being treated the proper way, then...okay. But I despise when I hear about mistreated race horses and race dogs.
