Wow. A whole horse?

That should make up for 3000 dead pretty nicely, I should think.

But it's a GOOD horse. A great one!

It was worth a million before it won the derby and the preakness, now it is worth considerably more.

Maybe "process" W.E. and send it back to them as a bottle of glue?

I say we send him back in dog food cans. Either that or arrange a Godfather-esque morning surprise for Crown Prince Abdullah.

Why hurt the horse? Why not accept it?

If a burglar robbed my house and his cousin came by and said, I'm sorry for what he did, have a new stereo, would you accept it?

My tv was stuck on football last night, so I was forced to think for myself.

If his cousin killed your wife, the stereo would probably look insignificant and demeaning.

The horse must die.

Just so you are aware, the last horse that won the Kentucky and Preakness sold for about $70M. This isn't that meaningless of a gift.

I'm not sure I'd want to accept it, but you aren't killing off a one or two millon dollar horse. With the sire fees, this gift is easily worth $100M.
