The future of racing? · 22.07.10

First they came for the 12 furlong races, and I said nothing, for my horses were bred for 10 furlongs.

Then they came for the 10 furlong races, and I said nothing, for the purses were bigger for 9 furlong races.

Then they came for the 9 furlong races, and I said nothing, for breeders prefered horses that could win going a flat mile.

Then they came for the mile races, and I said nothing, for everybody said that sprints were more exciting.

Then they came for me, and there was nobody to save me, for there were no Thoroughbreds left, only quarter horses.
