This is a highly informative blog on the horse racing industry, written by an enthusiastic fan with a broad base of knowledge. He has taken a heroic stand that includes championing the causes of having drugging totally removed from horse racing, standing against breeding for speed alone, getting the young under-developed 2-3 year olds off the track, as well as, supporting research to determine what the optimum surface for horses to run on really is.

This blog has much of the uplifting, joyous quality of the movie, Seabiscuit. It's post time, and off we go--this is the feeling generated with each and every blog entry.

Kdawg, you offer a very informative and entertaining blog. I can tell that you really love horseracing because you put enough enthusiasm behind each post to make a girl from Idaho want to head out to the Kentucky Derby, with a few dollars of fun money in hand, of course!! ;)

Hi, I'm your new neighbor. Allow me to throw fertilizer all over my lawn and make your town smell wonderful, empty my chemical toilet into your sewers, and I'll introduce you to my pitbull who loves to bark and nothing in the earliest hours of the morning. On the bright side, you won't need an alarm clock anymore and you'll be amazed how fast the property value goes up, even when I invite the rest of my relatives to move over here.
If you're open to new music, then you'll just love hearing all sorts of interesting heavy metal with catchy choruses the whole family will enjoy while trying to enjoy their dinner after a hard days work.
I hope you're religious, because I have a lot of people into all sorts of alternative religions! I won't go into it, I'll leave it to your imagination, but don't worry if you hear the goat out back, he won't be there much longer :)
