I know Midwest and its trainers stir controversy, but thought this was a nice story and I give props to the Papieses:

Thanks for posting this VOM . I've mentioned their good deed in the thread regarding slaughter , as the generous gifts like this certainly help keep the horses off the hands of the kill buyers .

They just need more folks like them to get involved and it's not just in the racing industry .

The Keen's are amazing people and :ThmbUp: to the Papiese's of Midwest .

indeed those people have given back to the game. i know people like Samantha Seigal and Maggi Moss make similar gestures. its always nice when big people step up to the plate and don't look the other way.
