anyone watch the kentucky derby? so sad.

almost makes horse racing appear barbaric. they were just relating it to such things as animal fighting on the today show. i still find it hard to believe that with today's technology they can't fix a horse's ankle or leg. it just blows my mind that they hafta be put down from an injury like that.
