Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
122 dead greyhounds. All of them lost their lives on the race track. Most of them were put down by the on-course vet. It’s a hell of a trail of death and destruction isn’t it? My family have all owned greyhounds. Many of my mates still do. I’m not sure how I feel about that […]

These horses weren’t injured or anything, not to the point that they had to be put down. They just weren’t much good, and Rogers didn’t want to […]
