The everlong search for a scapegoat

I thought society was crazy when people were leaving get well cards for Barbaro, but it has actually managed to be even crazier now. We're getting massively flooded with stories and analysis of people wondering "what was wrong" with Big Brown that he suddenly wasn't the same horse or didn't give his all to win the Belmont Stakes and I just can't believe that none of these people care to admit to the fact that:

BIG BROWN IS A HORSE AND THERE'S PROBABLY A VERY GOOD CHANCE THAT HE DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT A STUPID RACE OR SOMETHING LIKE THE TRIPLE CROWN; NOT TO MENTION PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF A RACE.


But lets fire the jockey because he didn't whip the horse enough and lets try and find so many reason's why Big Brown lost because there's no way in hell a horse can make a decision to just not run faster because it didn't feel like it...


(and to add to lost faith in mankind, you'll never guess what google turned back to me when I image searched 'Big Brown')
