What a bizarre comment. Your dishonesty, apathy and ignorance is on full display. Thanks but no thanks, you feckin' idiot. And "as someone who doesn't follow sports", maybe go get yourself some knowledge before pretending you know it all - because this is embarrassing.
Yep. For horses, as for humans, steroids can be used as anti-inflammatories. But if the horse's joints are inflamed enough to warrant that, it's questionable whether they should be racing.
It has gotten significantly worse in the last 50 years or so. Several fast, famous thoroughbreds were used to sire a lot of horses despite the fact that their legs weren't very solid. When you have a creature putting thousands of pounds of pressure on an ankle about the size of a human wrist, it's risky even if they're well-cared-for and not raced too often. But with these unsound legs a lot of them have, it's a recipe for disaster.
Well, and thank goodness dog racing is nearly finished in the US. It was a big deal when people in FL voted yes on the referendum to outlaw it a couple of years ago. Sometimes FL does things correctly.
I now believe you. What a bizarre couple of comments!

Kentuckyderby.com had no mention of the problem.
The horse went off at 15/1-pretty sure they didn't expect him to win.
Horse is also an alpha who has never been passed in the track.
Whoops.
The new winner went off at 26/1
The lack of self-awareness is stunning, huh. Comical.
Baffert seems like a real shit.
All hail Blucifer!
I cannot believe Baffert didn't go with "fake news", it's so obvious! Fucking moran.
He claimed a stable boy was drinking cough syrup, peed on the hay, which the horse ate.
Yep, the stable boy had to pee like a race horse!

Totally agree, except the horses are more likely to be euthanized (and thousands of them are every year) than the children. Completely disgusting.

There are many more horses' asses than there are horses.
What a maroon. The dude isn't getting any Smarter.
Trump's just pissed that the trainer didn't pump the horse full of hydroxychlorequine.
Happens all the time! Yeah, that's it-- pee syrup from the back of the stall, those stable boys, more like UNstable boys, amirite?
