I just wish that Pure Thoughts and other rescue organizations (be they for dogs, cats, horses, etc) had the money that the PETA-kooks take in. Pure Thoughts et al would certainly put it to taking care of needy animals.

Barbi Moline and Robin Cleary, two very caring people attempting to save earths greatest creatures! Thank you very much for all of your efforts! Calder needs to join the list of tracks currently banning anyone associated with horse slaughter.

The best trail horse I ever road was a little bay filly off the track...still I think the owners should have to dish out a % of the purse and the track owners a % of profit should go to these organizations. I wonder what just 1% would do for an animal?

GOD BLESS, YOU are the angels for the horses.AND, yes it is very sad that some of the breeders and trainers DO NOT CARE!!!!!! ONLY ABOUT THE BIG MONEY!! SO I HOPE THEY COME BACK AS A HORSE AND THERE OWNED BY HEARTLESS OWNERS.

She's wonderful, but horse racing shouldn't need a "savior" to pick up the slack...breeders, owners and trainers should. They created the problem.

Kudos to the Jocks.

I have an OTTB, one of Chris McCarron's wins at Del Mar in 1997. I didn't know I had a TB--he looks like an appendix QH--until I discovered his tattoo. I am a huge fan of TBs, and I would not hesitate to adopt another one. We are both working on learning dressage, and he is obedient, biddable, and very happy to be "carting a heavier jockey around a smaller 'track.'" Congrats to Pure Thoughts and Barbi for their hard work and thank you, Esther, for the wonderful blog entry.

Keep up the good work and keep exposing the angels who help the unwanted ex-racers. They are all winners to me!

I agree wholeheartedly with Greg J.

Thank you all for your insight into the extreme ends many wonderful and useful thoroughbreds could suffer. And the name is so suitable, Pure Thoughts.

Without efforts like yours so many thoroughbreds are doomed and that is not right when they have so much more to offer children, adults and organizations instead of going to the dreaded "S" word.

Much success to Pure Thoughts.

Thank-you for all that you do for these magnificient animals! I only wish Florida would shut down these slaughter houses, they need to step it up.
