Boring as hell. It's rather pointless, you don't do anything special.

Its definatley a sport you need to be at live to enjoy.
I've been once to Wolverhampton Race course it was great fun, having a bet and seeing your choice race through to win.

If your not there live, you have to have a bet, without any participation I would imagine this to be a very boring sport to watch.

I like it, but I hate it when the nice horses break their legs and are killed. It's unfair that they're forced to do it and are then hit by short men to finish first in a race.

As I have said before, my Mum and Dad train racehorses as a living, so I should say when we next have our runner. (They were both Jockeys when they were younger). So yeah, I kind of know a bit, but I dont bet THAT much.

And Andy, did you see it today/yesterday? (On BBC I think)

I hope they don't. I don't think I could bring myself to eat a horse. They're lovely animals.

Well I guess we only eat them in France. You should try, but it's quite expensive. It's so awesome.
