Thanks for the article. Very well written. Bejarano has got to feel so lucky that his injuries from opening day weren't as severe. The saddest part has got to be the plight of the horses. I mean, they didn't choose to be race horses.

Thank God for the Federal Reserve. You can't have big government or big wars without them.
