Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationWith the release of Barn 14 - Meg's Meadows the continuation of the Winning Odds Series which takes a hard look at the Thoroughbred racing industry, MaryAnn Myers has stepped out on a bold limb. I love Thoroughbreds, I love the racetrack, but... says Myers. We need to examine the practices of old and re-evaluate the new standards. We need to always, and I mean always, put the horses' and jockeys' safety first. Racing is all about winning, yes, as with most competitive sports. But it is also about the integrity of the sport. Owners and trainers need to be held accountable for the Thoroughbreds they breed and own. These horses run their hearts out, because that's what they were bred to do and that is what they love. But they have no choice of where to go after they are no longer competitive. That is where the integrity of ownership comes in. Everyone involved needs to make a commitment up front to the long respectful life of that Thoroughbred. It's as simple as that. Bestselling author of Favored to Win! & Odds on Favorite!
