This Saturday, June 7, Big Brown will run the third leg of the Triple Crown at Belmont Park. He's won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness and has a chance to be the 12th Triple Crown winner, the first since 1978. It's a thrilling prospect, but at the same time, we know that American race horses are in trouble, breaking down in increasing numbers and sometimes having to be euthanized, the tragic fate of Eight Belles, the second-place winner of the Kentucky Derby. If you'd like to read my thoughts on the danger racing horses face and what should be done, click on Protecting Horses on my website.
If you'd like to respond to my article, I'll pick the best letter, and the winner will get a free copy of my novel, The Case of the Three Dead Horses. I'll reprint the letter for everyone to enjoy and react to but withhold the full name of the winner for security purposes. Please feel free to disagree with me or bring up new points.
The contest ends July 4, 2008.
