Wow, tragic. Then I read your essay again. Thanks for giving this insight into the "horsie"-business! :-) Although I live in Europe and somehow am not connected to American horseracing, your nice essay made me look up in Wikipedia who Barbaro is.

I also have an interest in fiction and think your site has some great opinions on lots of lit. related issues. So I'll try to read more often.

Few people know the reality of life at the track, these wonderful animals, the folks who work with them, and the down side of all the glamor. Nice job.
