Stop the scourge of Tweeting racehorses.

Created by D.B. on May 11, 2013

While Twitter has created a great way for fans of thoroughbred racing to connect with owners, trainers, jockeys and members of the media, the unintended consequence is an avalanche of racehorses that have cluttered the feeds of fans.

Also, a Tweeting racehorse flies in the face of all proven research on the biological capabilities of equines.

We ask that Twitter be restricted to only humans and large, multinational corporations. And parody accounts. Some of those are hilarious.

Tweeting horses minimize the contributions to the discourse on racing from actual humans. And corporations. And sometimes sports networks.

Fans of the sport, as well as their children deserve comprehensive government regulation to stop the scourge of Tweeting racehorses. We clearly can't stop it ourselves.
