    But they put them down the whole time.

    I have a greyhound and a lurcher though so I may be a bit biased :grin: And I once helped a mate train one

    I didn't see it until just then either <grr>

    And 3 figures? you're a lucky bastard just for having that much to spend!

    I might stretch my balance a bit and add to my 2.50...although the odds have shortened

    I added 15 quid to my balance, put an extra £5.00 on Cloudy Lane, £2.00 each way on Bocciani in the 4.40 and Tanks for that in the 5.15

    The last 2 were hard to call so they're more guesses any way, Bocciani's 40/1 though so I don't mind if he wants to win :grin:

    Part and parcel of the sport. They are bred to race, they want to race. A horse will not do anything it doesn't want to. No one wants to see them die but like any other sport, there is a risk. They do as much as possible to prevent it. Ban it? You'd have a lot of unemployed people, a lot of horses with no use for them. I dare say there are more people who agree with horse racing than those who don't. The horses are looked after like kings/queens in the main.

    I don't bet on horses. I do like shagging old boilers though.

    Racing UK (which you're not gonna pay for) or the bookie you placed your bet with (if online) usually will allow you to watch if you have bet £5 or more on the race.
