Iâve always wanted to go since I read the description of it in the first Jurassic Park book. Itâs like the perfect combination of temperate jungle with beautiful beaches.

Gambling addiction âownersâ donât actually âownâ the horse. It would be more accurate to say you had âsharesâ in an abused animal.
Donât ever compare yourself to an actual horseman or horsewoman.

Youâve been to a hotel there. Go inside.
I get your distaste but race horses are far from abused and treated like royalty.
People gamble on all sports.
Who told you that?
no need for quotation marks. i actually have owned flesh and blood racehorses. did not abuse them in any way. and retired them to a second career when they became too old, or were injured or were too slow. ethical racehorse ownership 101.

a quick trip to the Kentucky Horse park in Lexington would dispel the myth.
i will concede that some owners are not ethical but the vast majority are and actually like and cherish horses.

How many horses were injured or died at specific grounds?
Santa Anita? Churchill downs?
Yeah itâs animal abuse.
Cherishing at ownership is one thing. Racing is a whole other issue.

1 is far too many. For something that isnât a necessity and is work a horse shouldnât be doing.

Last person I knew who said that in younger years was John McAfee.
For the majority of younger people itâs dead, if the current housing market and inflation is the new normal.
Horses have karma too. Even horses take pride in winning. Like all creatures they chose to do it.
Jimmy Buffett would advise sunscreen.
horses are born to run. what is not natural is running in circles.
horse racing is good. we just disagree.
