Who the hell wants to win a race at Los Alamitos?

What a guy. Special place in hell for him.
I asked O’Neill, given what happened to Burna Dette after being dropped so sharply in class, if he would do the same thing again with another horse. “I definitely would,” he said. “I’ve been blessed to win a lot of races with horses that dropped like that. It’s easier on them.”

This exerpt caught my eye: Arthur has pushed for the rule change, saying a trainer and owner had been seen “high-fiving” each other when a horse of theirs was claimed from a race in which it broke down.
Hard to imagine this can happen, if it did, I would love to know who they are.

It is amazing how these trainers and owners who have been given so much by this sport and these horses would be willing to drop horses who are obviously ready to break at any moment to these low levels rather than just retire them. Although you see it everyday. See race 1, PID tonight, Azura. Just ran in an allowance $42,900 purse lunged at the start and got beat about 3 lengths, race before ran 4th in an 85k stake race and before that won an optional 32k race. Tonight is entered for 5k. Hope she scratches

O Neil cant be defended on any level.. On the 8/9 Suffolk card there were 2 Zito Lapenta Mdn's dropping from 20 to 4 claimers both horses were 200 plus k and both were to slow to compete in NY. I also saw an Ex Phipps 4 year old that was out of Finders Fee racing as well.
The real question is does a horse's previous owner need to be responsible for the life of the animal that they purchased or bred and raced? Tough issue in the case of the two LaPenta Zito's yesterday ther were purchased in 08 for real money who knows how much was poored into the training feeding and vetting for these for the last 18 months. It isn't unresonable that each had 100k of added expense until they were claimed away.. Should Lapenta have to inspect or be involved with the horses future because he raised his paddle the highest in a auction in 08? Tough question

O'Neil
O'Neil dropping the horse in for 2K is an example of why "it's a dead game" Laddy. and guys like Doug are bringing horse racing to a slow death.
A sport I love played by animals that should be loved at all costs

Oneil
Have I just missed it. No talk in here about Oneils 20k claim, a former stakes winner, Sending her to Losall for 2k . Broke down and put away. She was claimed so he got 2k.. Is this any worse than sending them to a slaughter house?
