How can Bo Derek possibly claim to love horses, and simultaneously support this blood sport? She is either ignorant, or blinded by the money. Regardless, her actions and her words are unconscionable. Horses' health and well-being cannot possibly co-exist in a sport where the horses that are forced to participate die on a regular basis. Her comments and the article would almost be laughable, if the situation wasn't so sad. Shame on you, Bo Derek! From the following article in Ranch and Coast: Fast-forward several years, and Derek became a central figure in the racing world, proving that an interest in horses’ health and well-being can coexist with a love of the sport. And it’s that genuine caring that she hopes will encourage people to rethink any negative opinion of the sport. “I think that if someone truly went back side to the barns and saw for themselves everything that goes on with the welfare and safety of these horses — they’re happy,” she says. While she admits this may not be the case yet globally, “Come to the Breeders’ Cup and you’ve a lot of happy, very spoiled, very indulged horses. They don’t run well unless they’re happy and they want to be in front.” And please don't forget to like and share this page:https://www.facebook.com/outlawhorseracing/
