I agree with Cavelino Rampante. His/her comment was NOT over the top, the horses were all clearly exhausted and not fit to run, let alone jump.
What was over the top and uncalled for was the responses. Are you all so blinded by your love of horse racing to see what really happens? Take off your rose tincted spectacles, and open your eyes – that race was not the only cruel one. Shame on you, just like the dispicable jockeys and owners, you care more about money (winning your bets) than a horses welfare.
Yet I bet you’d be the first to phone the R.S.P.C.A if you saw a dog being kicked in the street. But there is only one difference between that and horse racing – one is legal. Both are just as cruel. There are often horses that have been illegally drugged (usually the ones playing up), but the drug they use, like the vast majority of this threads morals, is virtually undetectable.
I made my last ever bet on horse racing that day.
