Pet Show – Racing and the Kentucky Derby

Listen to our Pet Show podcast! Our guest was Joe Lucas, president of the Thoroughbred Racing Association of Oklahoma. Joe talked with us about the tragic death of Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby last weekend. Joe gave a lot of good insight into the world of racing and answered our questions about horse safety and treatment.

Here are links to our news stories for the week:

• - The Louisiana State Penitentiary accidentally has an extra security guard: a black bear.
• - Elephants in India are enjoying a new retirement home just for them. (Want to know more about India elephants in Oklahoma? Go here.)
• - Comet is apparently the smartest goldfish in the world, his owner says.
