What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? The Eclipse Award and winning the Kentucky Derby would be the ultimate achievements for any trainer.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Race horses are among the best cared for animals despite occasional reports of abuse and cruelty. Animal neglect, unfortunately, happens to more house pets than horses. The average horse racing fan probable doesn't know how well the racing industry controlls illegal substances and test for those substances after the races.

What do you like about this subject? The beauty of the athletic thoroughbred race horse.
