I just wanted to compliment you for staying level headed and making very well written and backed arguments on the Eight Belles page. I admit that I was a little hot headed at first and don't have time right now (finals week) to respond fully to the claims made, and I regret making a few erroneous comments that people have picked apart to discredit me since they can't come up with arguments against them (other than the distasteful "Jundas personified" and "you should be wringing chicken necks" comments). I also fully agree with you on the racing industry needing a reform in many ways and truly appreciate that it has remained steadfast in its decision not to allow AI (except in extraneous circumstances, which I understand) - so that the overpopulation of colts has been decreased. I'm saddened that people who have strong "feelings" on this subject are so closed-minded to the objective and subjective views on the industry by someone who obviously knows what she's talking about.
