do you watch any of the Triple Crown races on TV? The Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont? Is THAT not solely about money? Heck, VISA has a $5million payout to the owner of the horse that wins all three...

What do you think happens to all those horses after they've been deemed unfit to race? I have no idea, but, I'm sure it isn't that they're set up on a Kentucky stud farm to live out their lives.

I dont think I would ever go to a dog race because I believe its mostly all about the money (the gambling) We live in Colo and Colorado Springs has a greyhound track. We were up there visiting a couple of years ago and I was looking in there paper and I kid you not there were pages and pages of greyhound rescues in just one of their papers.

If the dogs are loved and treated so well then how come there were so many rescues for them!?! I'm sure a lot are probably treated good and some people do race them for the love of the sport but there are probably many more that do it just for the money. IMHO anyway.....
