Bad break

"BAD BREAK" They're off.....and pounding down the track, furlongs pass as hoof-beats fly. Silk clad jockeys urge them on, bettors cheer ,......but some will cry. The longshot and the favorite, have surged up side by side. The roaring crowd is on their feet, it's excitement.,................magnified. Down the stretch they thunder on, neck and neck, too close to call. Before they reach the finish line, one will stumble, .......and will fall. How sad to see a horse go lame, theirracing days,.......... are done. Swiftly go success and fame, with no more races to be run. Have those owners been too greedy, grooming winners hastily ? Causing brittle bones to crack, a tragedy,............ for all to see ?
