Worse, there seems to be no one who can do anything about it. Arts and Entertainment Wed, 04 Apr 2012 23:33:11 -0500 Can you please reply with a list of the "some 28 governing bodies that control horse racing across the country?" I know of many... and need some helpful names for my research. I am a dental hygienist with a passion for research regarding laminitis and equine dentistry, etc. I help Barbaro's legacy as well as MANY horses that die daily and am not a member of any group - please help me help these beautiful horses. Thanks, Laura PRI: Public Radio International
