Horsemother

Oh, great horsemother in the sky,
Here is a question from a bard, such as I!
Are you shooting a racing vet today?
Another horse was destroyed for gain,
This is, of course, 
A personal hobby horse,
If a horse gallops anyway,
Why are you whipping them this way?
This is the sport of kings, you see,
Death for a horse, if not its jockey,
Sounds to me like animal cruelty,
Racegoers turn the other way,
Drink some more best champagne,
This is question, better yet,
Does horsemother ever shoot the vet?
