🎙️ who cares!

They'll just shoot them like they usually do animalrights animals

I hope the bookies go out of business. I have no interest whatever in watching horses run around a track, so boring!

Couldn’t care less about the money , hate horse racing especially The Grand National. SO cruel. Really hope it has to be cancelled too although don’t want the horses to be ill. Everything is always about money and greed. 😡

Never mind the horses eh ?

It’s the horses I care about- not the people promoting a gambling industry

My heart bleeds for everyone involved especially the bookies! 😂😂😂

Just think of the lost revenue to the government. It affects local hotels, staff, catering staff, stable hands, food suppliers and so on.. not just bookies

If those who crave the adrenalin of watching a horse run whilst being gently ' encouraged ' then I have the answer . Lets see the jockey's sprint 200 meters , no hurdles to be included , but at least you'll all still be able to feed your gambling frenzy .

We have a week off and it's supposed to cost the industry hundreds of millions yet 'racing' survives on that a year, going cap in hand to the bookmakers.

What’s wrong with all these pansy horses? I felt like shit all last week, but I still turned up for work? What kind of molly coddled Nags are we raising these days? They want to get off their phones and play outside like we did when we was kids EquineFlu

Horsing around?

Punters are the only winners 👍
