I've been online petitioning for years, several times a year, to try to get it banned, but the scumbags won't, as they only care about themselves and the money. They don't give a hoot about all the gorgeous horses they torture and murder.

The same with I'm a Celebrity, and others similar, I've been doing the same to try to get those vile things banned too.

This is so sad, such magnificent animals forced to race themselves to the point of death for the gratification of a group of people who would probably describe themselves as animal lovers.
This should not be permitted in this day and age, is positively barbaric.

It's tragic and very wrong.

Imagine the outcry if four sprinters died during an athletics tournament.

I say this time and time again - can you imagine the reaction if it had been four jockeys who had died?

Oh no. So very sorry to hear this. Poor animals shouldn't die in the name of 'sport'.

Well if that happened BoggleMind at least they'd have made the decision to compete themselves, a choice these magnificent animals don't have.

I agree! It is not sport it is cruelty.
