HORSE RACING
The issues
A look at some of the issues surrounding the health of thoroughbreds
THE ISSUES
* Should fillies be allowed to race against colts?
* Are 3-year-olds, those who race for the Triple Crown, too physically undeveloped to hold up through five tough weeks?
* Should the drugs Lasix and Butazolidan, used legally in North America, be disallowed?
* Should penalties be increased for trainers who use illegal drugs, especially pain-killers?
* Is breeding for speed and quick financial results bringing fragility instead of durability?
