1) Geldings that have finished their racing career what would you think should be done with them? The most logical and sensible route is to find them a home where they can be retrained and enter a second career doing something else. OTTB are particularly suited to having a productive and happy second life.
2)Jenny Millington's operation is a vital cog in this chain of offering a horse a second life.
3)Once the form is signed and the horse disposed of correctly the NHRA has no further authority.
4) The owners and trainer were involved in the search.
The issue is actually a law enforcement one and anger should be directed at the criminals involved in the theft, the city and the law enforcement authorities not at the people who put so much effort into looking after these horses.
Absolutely agree with points 1 & 2. Questions must be raised as to why no HHCU in the Western Cape. Jenny should be awarded a sainthood.
point 3 you make as if the form was signed. It wasn't.
point 4 again debatable. Involved perhaps from a financial contribution involving getting intelligence but physically? I think not. I have been told that Maximum Flo NEW owner not the racing owners was intensely involved in the search.
