It has nothing to do with horse racing although the logo might make it seem that way. Although Premarin helps a lot of women, another side issue is all the foals that are "left over" at the end of the process. There are a lot of organizations involved with the "rescue" of these foals so they don't go to the slaughterhouse after they are weaned so the mare can get pregnant again.
