      @@watchgoose when you take into account all the physio, vets, shoes, feed, livery, grooms, yard up keep, bedding, petrol travelling to events, lorry upkeep etc it's extremely rare. If you have a champion stallion that you can then put out to stud, yes maybe. But to get a champion stallion you have to find one. That means paying for other horses, the upkeep of them and the upkeep of the whole yard etc still. To be a millionaire in the horse world you have to start as a billionaire

      James Girvan RaleighLink14 look her up and learn about the abuse and lack of care the goes on in the racing Industry. Also do you know why they take horses off the trace after a few years? IT’S BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BREED THE HORSE BEFORE IT LITERALY RUNS ITS LEGS OFF!!! It makes me sick to think that people can still support the Racing industry. And if horses don’t want to be forced to race then why do jockeys carry whips also why are you so many jockeys shock there horses out of the gate.

    • @Danny-yn8dc
      @Danny-yn8dc 5 лет назад +4

      I know jockeys, some trainers and met a few owners. They all absolutely love their horses. Not because they give money, but because they just love horses. In America they are all drugged and unvaccinated, while in the UK there are strict rules about the caring of the horses. The whips in Europe do not hurt the horses, they are used as a “tap”. They are trained to know what that tapping and waving means. Just try find any picture of any race horse that looks unhealthy, unhappy or with scars because you won’t. The unhappiest they would get is in the stalls ready to start, and that is because of lack of experience. I hate people saying this is animal abusr because the people in the industry could not care more about them, and their main priority is for them to finish the race and get back, which is why sometimes they are pulled up mid-race if the jockey feels the horse is not ok or cannot finish. Some rules in racing include it, and also include unnecessary use of the whip (which is a fine and suspension for the jockey), dangerous use of the whip (if the whip is used very near another horses face or body) or exceeding limits of the horse (keep riding the horse and showing the whip when the horse is clearly not able to finish or is tired).

      To give you some information, one of the main question for racing horsing is where will the go after they finish p, their are many options their is retirement, the breed, or they can go to programs which stop horses going to the slaughter house such as off the track, if you decide to sell your horse after the would most likely go into a different type of sport such as show jumping or dressage. Every owner and trainer try’s so hard to keep them out of the slaughter house but their are some people which unfortunately do it and the are shamed upon.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most of the people calling this abuse have never been to a racetrack let alone the backside of the racetrack. You could argue whether or not its humane but abuse is far from the way these animals are treated. This is an industry with regulations like any other. These animals are pampered considering the amount of money the owner pays the trainer. Every race morning the Vet comes to the barn to see that the horses that will run that day are looking in top shape. The slightest indication of anything bothering the horse and the horse wouldn't be able to run. The horses are also checked a second time that same day right before loading into the starting gate. And then a 3rd examination by the vet occurs post race. I'm not arguing that there aren't bad people who have done terrible things to horses. I remember reading an article on google about a farm who's owners abandoned their horses and they were found starving to death some time later. That's abuse. Horse racing isn't.

      I didn’t say the trainers were injecting drugs in their veins. A lot of horse racing facilities inject illegal drugs in them to make them run faster. Also, there is proof for this. I saw a study earlier on, since I was researching about the sport, that most race horses showed positive in an illegal drug test.
      I’m not saying I know shit about horse racing, but there is proof that it’s cruel. And, I do know, since I am a horse rider myself, (even though I’m not saying I’m “qualified” because of this) that making the horses do all of this running, especially at a young age, is really bad for the horse.

    Thorobreds have a very Short shelf life and off to the killers they go. Famous big money racers earning millions have ended up on the killing room floor. How’s that for loyalty to an animal who served his master well? One reason the dog racing and horse racing industries are getting phased out is that neither had a consistent and humane “exit strategy” for their animals. Greyhounds end up abandoned, sold for medical research, dog pounds, coyote hunters or shot. Frankly it would be better to humanely euthanize them - death is not the worst thing that can happen to an animal.
    Race fans will never see it any other way. They are blinded by competition. Working animals are fine. But understand you are long overdue for positive public relations. Don’t be alarmed when the General Public doesn’t agree with you. I’ve worked dog tracks and have owned ex-racers dogs and horses. These animals get a raw deal.

      nope, only one in a hundred stables does this. Thougherbreds are treated like royalty, they lose 6 - 8 kg in a race so they get massive feeds, exercised every day, paddock time and have stalls if necessary and all in all act like the kings and queens they are. Thougherbredslove to run, they are athletes. (not all are I am aware, thus the OTTB) And without an energetic life for those...well it's torture. why people like you have to pick on (in my opinion) one of the best equine industry, is beyond me. and please name one "Famous big money racers earning millions have ended up on the killing floor" horses like Man-o-war Zenyatta Secretariat Sea biscuit Phar lap and have all died of old age with their old jockeys and owners giving them love. (I could name many many more but that would get a bit much.) SO, Please before you make your high almighty judgment, actually look into it, when I was young it was very confusing because everyone hated it. I'm glad I actually looked into it, otherwise...well I would be arrogant as people like you, sorry if that came off rude, I just get VERY cross.

You can pick up a good thoroughbred a dime a dozen, nurse them back to health and start them on a new career. All for the price of their meat. Might sound harsh, but it's true. So many people in the racing industry take their horses to kill buyers because they were "disappointed" in them. Not to say all do it, but a huge percentage of them do.

I have seen horses bite other horses or riders during races to be the winner. There is even history about champions so upset by a loss that they tried to drown themselves in their water bucket.

      There's animal abuse during the race. Horses are beaten with sticks pretty badly. I'm from Germany and there even is a law that prohibits the jockeys to hit their horses more than three times during a race or they'll get disqualified. It hurts and scares the horses when you beat them so much. Also the race at young age with not fully grown bones is damaging

    The business of horse racing reminds me of "puppy mills". Everyone wants the next super stud, so who cares if the horse only stays healthy enough to race for just five years. We could double the racing careers if we demanded that all competition horses "must" compete without any form of hoof protection. Almost everyone in the medical field know that most of the health problems are rooted in hoof care, but it doesn't fit into their business model to push for change. You see for the medical professional it's more profitable to correct a torn tendon or ligament, for the owner's we've made it more profitable to put it out to stud. In other equine sports it is because of ignorance, in Tb racing it is intentional ruclips.net/video/7fnW3NLklCw/видео.html Look around my channel and see the transformations that are possible when we help the hoof perform as nature intended.

      Reverse_Thoughts are you really serious? You believe that? Use ‘em up. Buy another. Horse racing owners aren’t in it to take exceptional care of their investments. It’s to expensive. Sort term fast gain is key. Cash flow is key. Vets are expensive and only the best of farms really use them to prolong the life of their horses. Taking good care of racing animals is a good way to go broke. Puppy mills are the same - sell pups while they’re cute. Breed the kennel breeders until they can’t. Putting vet care into them is not making money. Once they can no longer make money for the mill owner off they go for the one way walk over the hill. The Amish are notorious puppy mill operators. Believe me. They don’t feed anything that doesn’t make them money.
      The number of horses that make it to a good home after their race career is low. The number that get sent to the killers is much higher. They have to wring one more dollar out of the animal by selling it to the killers.

    Why does anyone bother with horse racing anymore? The number of none runners makes it a mugs game.
    If the bookies just return all bets when there is a none runner that would be perfect and refuse to sponsor the event if the trainers are so unreliable to withdraw in the last 2 hours before a race starts that would make it fair for the punter. Otherwise the trainer has all the power, can withdraw when they feel like it and deliberately mess up the market.
    If a horse is unfit don't bring it along at all. Leave the bugger at home, don't bother coming to the event to save money and announce it a day before.
    The trainers have all the power in racing. They literally have too much control over the racing markets and can rig it as they like.

They are very intelligent and will often hate certain people and love others. Many years ago, a wealthy female bankerin the City, bought an ex Irish racehorse (jumps) and he hated her. He had a minor injury to the forelock on one leg and I was told by the vet to onlywalk him, but walk him a fairly long distance, with a pressure sock on him. "Blue" and I loved each other. His owner paid me to care for him, and when it was cold winter, I put his tack on him and decided to ride him, although an inexperienced , very basic rider.Everything was going great until he say a low hedge and suddenly galloped to clear it easily. I went mad at Blue. Took him immediately back to his stable. (no fancy riding kit - rode with my full motorcycle kit on). He knew he'd been a bad boy.
      He got fed and groomed for a week, but not let out, which he'd never experienced. Put the tack on him again and he was a lamb. Nice walking, into the trot and then the slow canter. Can do that, but never tried to gallop or jump ever again with me. What he did with his hated owner is another story. I'm telling you this true story, as good racehorses, evern with minor injuries, are not destroyed and sold for pet food in Europe.
