Someone posted on the Emerald Forum that Prodigious is in retirement at Oak Crest Farm- I can't confirm either way but hope they are right!!

Thanks for posting the updated information, I'm very glad to hear that they will be pressing charges against this 'person'. I made a small donation to PHH and Ripleys. Do you know where I would send a letter of support to the county animal control agent? thanks!

I know we have the Arabians to thank for that too :) ! I was also hoping for some things that could be directly related back to the racing ind...

Can anyone help me list some things that racing or the TB industry has done that are a benefit to horses and horsemen of all disciplines?
