CBS Saturday Morning news on racing:

[Bluey]

They had a story on racing’s injuries/deaths:

I expect they will keep repeating that story thru all the weekend news.

They repeatedly have those kinds of stories, rarely one showing what we do with horses in a good light:

I saw the interview.

I can’t remember the name of the KY breeder who said, “If they needs drugs to race, they don’t need to race.”…or something to that effect.

I seem to recall it was Seth (?) Hancock that said that… could be misremembering.

Arthur Hancock is the one who was featured in the CBS piece, along with Gary Stevens.

Haven’t seen the piece, but Seth Hancock is retired. He doesn’t give interviews.

I couldn’t remember who made the comments as denoted by the (?) following the first name. I did seem to think it was a Hancock so at least I got that correct.

Thanks all for pointing out that I got the individual Hancock incorrect. :rolleyes:

Where’sMyWhite - not sure what the rolly eyes are for - you questioned your own statement with a “?”, so I responded to clarify which Hancock was in the piece. It wasn’t meant as a criticism, or to “point out” that you were incorrect. That’s not my way. Thanks
