Field and Track
I am delighted to live where thoroughbreds roam
Raised on bluegrass and calcium-rich water
Mares running, foals frolicking, stallions alone
In their pastures unbridled, joyous, free
I am distraught to live where thoroughbreds race
Jockeys on their backs
Round and round on turf and poly and dirt
Blinkered, bridled, saddled, whipped

Yes, such mixed feelings! I relate.
I feel this too. I wish we could let the horses race for the love it and remove the “industry” part of it altogether.
yes, maybe we should go live where the buffalo may still roam
