All I heard about all day today was that horse that got put down at the Kentucky derby. I have alot of experience with horse racing. I spent most of my teenage years at the horse track or the dog track. My father owned horses so I saw the other side of the scene also. Its all a bunch of garbage. Its all fixed and the biggest bunch of bums are involved in it. From the trainers to the handlers to the jockeys to the people that work at the place to the degenerate gamblers that hang there.
Lets start with down in the back part where they take care of the horses are some of the slimiest people you will ever meet. They are drug addicts alcoholics with rotten teeth and no education. They are people that couldn't get a job working at a carnival. Half of them sleep there in the stalls on top of empty cartons of keystone beer..
Then you got the jockeys. Most of them are foreigners that get kicked out of their own country because they are to small to work and all they want to do is ride horses all day. You talk about drug addicts those guys will take anything. They are constantly binging and purging and taking diet pills and hanging in the sauna to lose weighty. i wouldn't trust anyone of those guys as far as I could throw them.. Wait I could probably throw those little bastards pretty far.
The trainers, those pukes if you talk to them very one of their horses are the next Secretariat. The next time you hear one of those guys say their horse doesn't have a chance in the race cumming up it will be the first.
The people that work there have the same disposition as the pukes down at the DMV. When I hear a track is going to have to lay off workers I say to myself . How many of them will slip and fall today and go out on comp before they get a chance to lay them off.
Then there are the degenerate gamblers. I call them " the worst of the greatest generation". Because 90 percent are over the age of 65. As a promotion they should give away a free can of Geritol to the first 100 people that arrive there. They will probably be the only 100. They got walkers, scooters, oxygen tanks. They cough, sneeze, fart, belch. The most needless thing at the track are the sinks in the bathroom. None of those dirty bastards wash their hands, even after #2. They all had the winner in the last race but changed their minds at the ticket window.
I don't say shut down the sport because really, they are just animals. Whether its horse racing, dog racing the rodeo, the circus, cock fighting or dog fighting, they are just animals. And we are top of the food chain.
