Just read your post Sal and i have to admit it made me laugh nice one mate, no offence taken we all need to have a laugh now and again.
For me there is no doubt that Hawk Wing didn’t get the distance i agree with a post above saying it was his class that got him so near,they did finish well clear of the rest of the field so you have to hand it to High Chapparal,regards the big two dominating if it carries on like this i have no doubt it will turn people away from the sport ,yes it is good to see such top class horses but it will eventually become boring it is getting to the point now where you are having to decide which stablemate is going to win a race with A O’Brien and Godolphin sweeping everything before them as i say if this continues the excitement will soon wear off.
In the last 5 years 75 of the offspring of woodman have run over 12f and 5 of these have won so wil Hawk Wing stay personaly i dont think it will and at the price i certainly wouldn’t back it.
It has taken me some time to read through these posts and i have to say it has been interesting,I also come from Scotland in an area that some would call countryside but to be honest if you don’t come from Edinburgh or Glasgow you are accused of coming from the country up here i saty a 45 mins drive from both places and have stayed in Glasgow also for a short time although returning to my originial home in Bannockburn ,when all this started up here we had the local MP going round the door and seen out and about asking people there views on it when he was asked his views he said we need to ban it but he was then asked did he want it banned or was he saying it because the men at the top wanted it banned,around this area you have a cross of both for and against although i actually believe most agree with it being banned because they think it is the tally ho brigade involved ,they don’t mind the fishing in the Forth they certainly don’t mind sending ferrets down a hole to catch hares and sending fox terriers down holes to catch rabbits so who is right and who is wrong one can’t be wrong and the rest all right there is a place for everything and i do honestly believe that people jump on a band wagon without fully knowing what goes on ,i have never been on a fox hunt but i have been out on beats so if someone came to me and said you should stop the beating and they had never been on one before i would ask them why it should be banned same with fox hunting until i had been on a hunt i wouldn’t ask to ban it because i don’t fully know what goes on i have an idea what happens but is that because of what i have read about it ,and going back to some of the first posts on the subject concerning what is more important i have 2 disabled sons and i can tell you the government need to spend a hell of a lot more time looking at rulings in that area than taking up hours and hours of time debating fox hunting you might say but you are only saying that as you have a vested interest in disability rulings and you would be right because once you are faced with the same problems believe me whether fox hunting was being banned or not would be way down your list of things that you would want your MP debating.
