It’s Unbelievable

Fatally injured in the last race at Aintree on Friday

The majority of the masses at Aintree won’t remotely care (it may even be a bonus for them to be able to post on their sad facebooks that a horse was killed) as long as they could see the sugababes.

The fatalities seem to be increasing, especially on the flat; I stopped following nh after Hungary Hur was killed in the 1990 national and have become increasingly anxious in following the flat.

The bha has said for many years that it is developing a ‘whole life’ database for racehorses; it still hasn’t done so; how difficult can it be?; the clear conclusion therefore would be that it wouldn’t make for pretty reading and must be suppressed; I fear that the terribly upsetting deaths of racehorses on course are drops in the ocean relative to the fates of racehorses, particularly geldings, obviously the majority, who leave the sport.

I still remember Hungary Hur’s trainer giving him an apple prior to the race and saying all he wanted was for him to be back in his stable after the race.I was so upset and I still hate it when they interview connections before a race.
