I am an avid horseman,have bred a few horses in my day and I am disgusted and saddened. Rachel Alexandra has gone from being Horse of the Year in 2009 to little more than an equine "puppy mill" brood mare all for the sake of foaling offspring that will bring alot of money at the Fasig-Tipton sales in August of next year. It doen't even make sense to not give her a year off to recuperate between foals. If she dies,shame on you, greedy horse racing industry,you should be ashamed of putting this fine horse at risk for your gain.
