I think its really stupid that people say that the horse is “brave”, and “valiant” in its effort to win. Why anthropomorphize the horse’s behavior? The horse could care less about the”win” .These poor animals are just machines to the people who use them for this cruel sport. Idiots.
What would really be humane would be to just abolish the whole practice of horse racing.
