Can't be here quick enough! Don't do summer sports flat horseracing at the top level now it's for the upper class. Can't buy the character of the NH code of that sport.

Only 214 horses died in 2024 national hunt season.
That's character all right!

They'd be better off putting down the people who force the horses to race.

It happens in training or from a fall in horseracing always been the same. There's cruelty to animals worldwide worse tell me how are you going to stop that? I'm talking about the characters in NH horseracing compared to on the flat. The trainers, owners & jockeys over the jumps. Also the horses which we see progress over the years.

Guru its a good job im not a Mod or you would have got a yellow card for going off subject. What has horse racing jump or flat got to do with the release date of next seasons football fixtures? It’s off subject AND O/T. Please don’t reply.

Is that the punters that bet on them?

Without betting the business of horse racing would go the same way as cock fighting and bear baiting

Gambling revenue from the horses is on the decline. Other forms of losing your money have moved in. In the end when all is taken into account there's only one winner & it's not the punter!
