milehiiu Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Really, really sad. Horses are magnificent animals. I was aware of the situation. But not the continuation. Thanks for the update. Thought this had come to an end. They've got to get this corrected, or the State has to close them down for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a small boy who went with my parents to Washington Park in Illinois for the horse races. Maybe two or three times a year. To this day, I recall a long shot, coming down the stretch. The horse was not supposed to win. Trainers told my dad who was to win, before the race. And the rider of the long shot... stood up in the saddle... pulling back on the reigns, in order for the favored horse to pass him and win the race. My dad won.... but it was not fair.

If anyone is ever around St. Louis, the Budweiser clydesdales at Grant's Farm are a must see. Such powerful yet graceful creatures. It's easy to underestimate just how large they are.

Such powerful yet graceful creatures. It's easy to underestimate just how large they are. Magnificent animals. And the Bud Brewery in Fort Collins, Colorado has a team of Clydes, as well. They have made many appearances throughout the Centennial State, including the Festival of Lights at Christmas time in Denver. As well as celebrating the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center, this past January : Budweiser Clydesdales Visit the Pepsi Center So, if you are ever in Fort Collins, Colorado, stop by the Bud Brewery for a fantastic tour, and check out these magnificent animals.
