Horse Racing

why does the horse have to die? can't they just pay for it to have surgery and then let it live on a field somewhere?

There's no profit in that, unless it can still go to stud.

Cold, I know. And in my heart I wish it was different. But as we see on the news every day our world is morally fried.

No mate. This is a forum where everybody is allowed to post their opinions. This thread is called Horse Racing. I am commenting on horse racing. If you don't want to hear my opinions block me, or log off.

Also, as well as that tweet, there was this comment:

No horses have died in race since 2012

It is extremely difficult, nigh on impossible, to repair a seriously broken leg to a standard that would be able to carry the weight of the horse. They dont break like we see in football, like cleanly, or snapped. The literally shatter like glass.

According to Mrs R who knows this stuff.

Ignorance is bliss for all of those fans getting bladdered out there, cheering on while a horse is taking a bullet after being ridden to its death.

All horses fine at present. Saint Are being treated by vets in stables.

Betfred are crap.

33-1 Each way for pleasant company at a quid only paid 9.25 out. How is that even a real amount?

It becomes 33/4 (1/8.25). If your bet was a quid then that's the correct winnings, as you get your stake back.

33 divided by 4 x £1. plus half your stake (50p) back

8.25/1 rather

Haven't heard of half the stake back. In this case his return would've been 8.75.

Of course you did mate.

...it’s pointless telling lies. I tend to believe people, but that’s just me. Tiger Roll backed on 19th March when it was 25-1.

I sometimes wonder how many anti horse-racing types supported the missile strikes last night.

I would say none

Ha, I backed Cause of Causes then thinking he had a nice hunt round at Cheltenham to ready him for today and only backed Tiger Roll once Cause of Causes pulled out so the price had gone.
