    That would be a great polo team name.

    All from the same Venezuelan team that was considered the favorite ... you suppose some idiot is taking talk-radio rhetoric vis-à-vis Chavez slightly too seriously?

    I will be shocked if this wasn't deliberate. And I don't think it has anything to do with anything but polo. I think someone was trying to make the horses sick, or weak, for the match and overshot their mark with mass murder.

    Polo. Wow. Who fucking knew?
    I hope they take the person who did this and inject him/her with the same stuff that killed the horses. Suffer and die, asshole.

    I think it probably has something to do with the massive amounts of money spent on the sport, and the moneyed positions of the people involved.

    Someone's about to get very rich on insurance claims.

    The first suspect should be the benificiary.

    I am still trying to figure out how they knew that the horses felt dizzy.
