I say this not in response to 22 horse fatalities at Santa Anita racetrack since Dec. 26, I say this because horse racing would not exist without the involuntary participation of its four-legged athletes. Besides being imperiled by other forms of gambling, horse racing should be felled by a simple, moral fact:It’s just plain wrong. You might look out your bedroom window and disagree, but Couch Slouch would like to believe we have evolved as a culture. Horse racing, of course, is deeply rooted in American history. No more greyhounds or horses racing.
