In which a freelance writer contemplates the publishing industry, horse racing and the human-animal relationship. Hey, I'm not the first to ponder the connections. "The profession of book writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business." John Steinbeck

Punch and Judy?
The above incident happened on January 8 at Philly Park. The two jockeys in question have been suspended but certainly this does little to improve the image of horse racing in general. Unbelievably dangerous behavior for men who make their livings riding 1000 plus pound animals at forty miles an hour. What would have happened if one actually punched the other one off?
I hate to think.
Take it outside, guys. Not on the backs of the beasts who make you what you are.
