2. ““In order to dispose of this appeal in an expeditious manner, we will briefly comment that appellant’s third issue presented to us, namely, that the agriculture exclusion contained in the Workmen’s Compensation Act is violative of the equal protection clauses of the state and federal constitutions because of discriminatory classification of workers, is without merit. Furthermore, as was the situation in Peck v. Conder, Ky., 540 S.W.2d 10 (1976), we will not express an opinion with respect to the possible invalidity of a statute when such an issue was not presented on appeal to the circuit court from the board.””

3. “[t]he “raising” of race horses obviously includes feeding, housing, and caring for brood mares. It would be an illogical and impermissibly narrow distinction to say that raising race horses is agriculture, but that once they are “raised”, (presumably from foal to racing age) their feeding, housing, and care rendered on farm premises becomes a commercial operation.”
