Animals are more than ever a test of our character, of mankind's
capacity for empathy and for decent, honorable conduct and faithful
stewardship. We are called to treat them with kindness, not because
they have rights, power or a claim to equality, but in a sense,
because they don't. They all stand unequal and powerless before us."

Do
racehorses love their job?
This one does!
Topaz Legacy (#7) dumped his rider at the gate and
continued to run the entire race using strategy and
tactic.
He holds back, watches for a hole, accelerates to the next
hole, slows down, weaves in and out – blasts to the
finish line to WIN. He timed the entire race perfectly.
Watch #7 come out of the gate - then keep your eye on
the right side of the screen. Any wagers that he will
claimed on next race?
