"Suicide Race"
The annual Omak Stampede continues to draw the ire of animal rights
groups outraged about the danger to horses during the showcase Suicide Race.
"Suicide Hill is a very forgiving hill," said veterinarian and former
Stampede board member Dr. Jim Gjesvold. "The danger is more to the 140-lb.
man than the 1,400-lb. horse."
