Absolutely they do. Horses are gassed , vetted and trained to the gills every week by different trainers.

Today’s young people would tend to agree with you..My kids now all adults feel
Horse Racing = Animal Abuse period..
Like the circus society will get rid of racing too eventually..

Claiming has always been more of a rental program as opposed to an ownership plan. I remember about a dozen years ago at Pocono when they were juicing's at will, how some of these older and ultra game geldings were being tortured week after week.
 For a while, most tracks reduced the number of claiming races. Recently, it appears they are writing them more frequently.

IF YOU CANT BAND THE WHOLE SPORT , AT LEAST BAND CLAIMING RACES TO KEEP HORSES OUT OF A SICK FUCKERS HANDS

God gave man dominion over horses. 

It's right there in Genesis, for Christ sake.

Claimers do almost nothing to promote breeding and the resulting agricultural industry in the state holding the claiming races.
The claimers have to be fed, and I guess that helps agriculture some. 
And the vets LOVE them.
Just a few select trainers who  have an amazing ability to take antique race horses and give them new lifetime marks can do well in them.
A blight on our sport, in my eyes at least.
Feel free to not agree, it's the American way!

The above is a particularly inept response to a serious problem. Anyway back to claiming ...

I despise the claiming game but it seems to be a necessary part of a game dictated by wagering. Horse racing is first and last a gambling game and if you don't like claiming, you are wasting your breath unless you can suggest a viable alternative.

So, training 2 year old is abusive. Racing claimers is abusive. What can be said for racing as an entity?

Absolutely agree. It promotes using horses like stolen rental cars leaving a bank robbery...

Here's another question.
Should horses who have recently been in 5 claimers (as the condition of the race) be going for $16K?

I do have a problem with the topic. I believe it should read "harness racing promotes horse abuse".

Up here in Maine we treat our horses with kindness and love.  Ourur horses race on a reasonable racing schedule and not abused with whipping and kicking during racing and training,  Maine trainers and drivers are exemplary in their respect for race horses.  Pay no attention to Tilleys remark.
