i cant watch.
i refuse to watch.
cruel horrendous barbaric stupid race. and for what?

hate the fucking thing. wish it was banned.

Or what Frankel said more succinctly

Allofaflumble, thanks for sharing that great example.

Jeez, if you lot want to fight over whether being in the top 10% makes a horse, good, great or top flight then fill your boots.

The point I was making was that if it wasn't for racing, these horses wouldn't exist and those who disagree with horse racing have no right to such views unless they abstain from eating meat/ wearing leather/ having pets/ visiting zoos etc.

I was so glad to be able to share it with you. The people in my life think I am quite mad!

I love that story fumble thank you

We do all love our horses so very much.

No YADNBU OP it is awful and cruel to the poor animals. Dd and I both had our hands over our eyes when dh and ds were watching it. If you ask me I think it will be banned in a few years.

I don't like or watch it. I feel sorry for the horses.

Why on earth would a particular horse race be banned? It'd be like banning the FA cup final or Wimbledon, but not banning football or tennis.

The horses love it. As Battlegroup showed they can refuse to race, and plenty of jockeys chose not to push their horses and pulled them up.
