Hit to horse industry

I wonder what it will do to Kentucky’s Thoroughbred horse industry if Donald Trump is elected president and bans Muslims from entering the country, as he has proposed.

Muslims, especially those from Saudi Arabia, spend many millions of dollars on Kentucky-bred horses every year. Much of that money goes back into the state and local economies.

I wonder, too, whether our carpetbagger governor has thought about that or cares.
