I think it is a race that needs some further modifications to it, Horses do though get injuries a lot of the time, even in flat racing.
I don't approve of animals being made to do things they don't like however and in my opinion some of the fences are too high and does there need to be so many as well,not only as to fences on the course but also the number of horses starting the race too.

The Horses bred for Racing do in the main love to race and that's shown when a rider falls off a horse but it still continues running riderless around the course and still jumping the fences too.

I would never put a bet on it but I did watch it,however it will never be banned, it is supported too heavily and the money changing hands as to it is massive,so no way will it ever be banned,I just hope it gets more modifications,especially to the fences and a reduction of numbers starting the race.

I am well aware that it is normal for horses to be put down due to injuries.

'Mega Betting Day' - oh we can't get in the way of a few beautiful animals being put down when Mans need for greed has to be satisfied - that just wouldn't do at all.

Life In The Fast Lane - when you're a horse, isn't so lovely afterall

The horse I bet on usually dies, so it's probably best I don't bet
