How kind of you to think of the horse, what a good person that makes you. You should be awarded some badge, to let everyone know just what a caring person you are.


Vicente for the win.

I'm thinking about it but I'll be annoyed if I don't win any money back. Then if one of my potential horses wins I'll be even more annoyed.

The ones I'm thinking of:
Cause Of Causes
The Last Samuri
Highland Lodge
Shantou Flyer
Blaklion

Hmmm don't think they love breaking their necks or having to be put down because of a race though.

I don't support any racing over the sticks. To me, betting on the Grand National is like betting on a dogfight. It's archaic and in 100 years people will wonder how anyone ever watched it.

No one forced anyone to come into the thread :/

And no horse racing is nothing at all like dog fighting, horses are bred for running, they love to run, they have a great quality of life with the best owners, handlers, jockeys and trainers.

Dogs that are made fight live in horrible conditions.

No comparison at all.

Most race horses are inbred to be fast which often results in serious health problems. They're made to run all their life so they don't know any different. Horse racing causes deaths- 6 horses died at Aintree last year alone. And often at the end of their career the horses are shot or slaughtered and sold abroad. Great life!
