Ethics - A pleasant surprise

The Kentucky Derby favorite, I Want Revenge, scratched from the lineup this morning. David Lanzman, the breeder and a part-owner of the colt, was quoted as saying, "They gave me their opinion of what was best for the horse. At that point, there was no debate (about scratching)," Lanzman said. "I’m glad the horse is OK."

How ethical, and humane, and reasonable - in a sport where humane treatment of these beautiful animals is in short supply.

In my eyes, they won today.
