At any rate, the goal in all this is to make it more difficult for connections to dump an unwanted horse. To that extent, the Thompson ruling is a positive development. Since NTWO set up shop in Louisiana in late spring/early summer, it has acquired 80 unwanted horses (as of this week) from Delta and Evangeline. Simultaneously, Thompson's inventory of TBs held for hostage has declined.
Your point about racino purse supplements is well taken. I'd also add that Louisiana's state-bred program is equally to blame.

Awful. If this is true more than horses should be euthanized!
