But then also that tournament from Harry potter where they could use any magic they liked in the tasks so you ended up with players with shark head and gills. Last edited by Marsh.; 18-03-2018 at 12:16 PM. |

I think they would definitely smash the records, but even thinking about this is making me feel a bit dodgy

I just find it incredibly boring. The actual race is thrilling, sure, but the entire environment of rich, upper-class horsey bores that surrounds the sport is very draining. I wouldn't miss it if it stopped.

It's the scruffy layabouts that ARE betting Ł100+ per race that are a real headscratcher . Well I mean not that much of a headscratcher but... "Officially" a headscratcher. "Where does he get his money? Oh I have no idea, he certainly isn't selling mountains of street vallium, officer."

as bad as it is we must remember the horse that race are extremely well looked after and have the best food to keep them in mint condition. yes it sad when things like this happen but this story is of the minority and not the majority.
( I bet on poetic justice last grand national - it came last and he went round the track backwards. ) |

Your post there was, trying to bait everyone who is against horse racing into believing you were filled with glee at the prospect of those big fences at the Grand National. Clever.

Don't be dissapointed in me.
I understand the reasons why you'd be against horse racing. But there is dangers in all walks of life. The horses love racing and the deaths are quite rare, considering hundreds of horses are running every single day. My favourite sport is rugby league, there has been deaths on the field in that sport too recently, and injuries are picked up every week. Players that actually play that sport, think the game is going soft, with the constantant rule changes for safety. Horses will refuse to run if they don't want to. |

The problems I see is too many horses. These horses can clear these fences with ease but when you have 15 or more horses approaching a four an a half foot fence with an added half foot of spruce added on top, it only takes one horse to hesitate or veer sideways to cause accidents and subsequent injuries/deaths. In the GN they run 40 horses over 30 fences, some of them 6ft in height, which makes it the most likely race a horse will meet its maker. If they halved the number of horses and got rid of beeches brook we wouldn't get anything like number of horse fatalities we see at the moment.

IF they are born to 'race' as some claim ,then why do they have too be 'BROKEN in' horses throw people from their backs until they are 'broken' in, it's not natural for them to have someone on their backs pushing their knees into them and being whipped, I get they love to run,but only at the pace they choose I would bet. There are too many horses and the fences aren't needed, about time these so called animal lovers got a grip and did something about it.

I'm not as mad on the fences, I don't mind the flat racing though.

Wild horses tend to be used for the meat market. Many Dartmoor ponies are rounded up once a year for the abattoir. If horses weren't ever kept as pets and ridden, they would just become another part of the meat chain. My first pony lived to the ripe old age of 30 and was a much loved member of our family.

Of course, some failed racehorses get sold on for team chasing, which is equally dangerous but many get sold on to naive newbie horse owners who can't believe what a bargain such a fine looking horse is and WOW an 'ex racehorse!!" They then discover that every time their horse gets gets on turf, it wants to gallop and there's no stopping it or its so fizzy they daren't ride it and they often find the horse has massive skeleton problems and deemed unfit for purpose. It then gets sold on again and again. The life of a racehorse isn't great but the life of an ex racehorse is equally concerning.

No not really, the horses seem to enjoy it. If anyone has ever worked in a stable they will know how much a horse enjoys human contact.
But then again if a horse falls and breaks a leg it will be shot on the track because it would take to long to safely remove it without further injuring it..therefore the next race would be held up and TS and his bookmaking chums would lose out. So, i would say the betting industry is cruel as most owners run the horses for enjoyment rather than profit. |
