Targeting the nations favourite horse race where almost everyone has a flutter on. That's a good way to gain support. Of the people.

It's obviously not about gaining support or even caring about the horses. It's about spoiling other people's enjoyment because they want others to be as miserable as they are. It's about their own selfish ego's and them saying "look at me everybody, I care for animals, because I'm better than you. Arne't I a great person? Please like me and give me the attention I crave"
