The Cliffsofmoher Cry

I bought up my point from earlier in this thread about it being seen to be agitated and sweaty before the race. Someone responded half the field was. My feeling is that if it was a race of humans and half the field was as agitated as the Melb cup field the race would have been postponed or cancelled.

I have to admit I used to like it, e.g. love Winx, but I think the horses pay too much of a price for the greed of their owners. Even when they aren't racing they suffer. For example, I heard that Makybe Diva is basically a cripple these days because she was over raced.

Same - I used to like it.

I've even been to a few Melbourne Cups.

I won't even watch it on TV now, though.

I'm glad I didn't watch today's race.

Most elite athletes end up crippled (arthritis, injuries etc ) in old age.

Like greyhound racing, the successful animals are generally cared for beautifully and no doubt they love what they do. Even the whipping of horses is a bit over blown.

The dirty secret is whay happens to the unsuccessful animals. For every 1 successful animal 100 end up as pet food. That cost is too high.

How do these nags rate internationally.
How does Winx rate internationally, fair to middle I would say, still, good entertainment, I don't know how our multi cultural society feel about such events, gambling and drinking parties that stop a nation, the wogs don't mind but others would, like Muslims.
