It’s well known that the racing post is written by the bookies for the bookies. The average yards can only survive by landing a decent bet . The average winner in a class 6 race on a wet Wednesday night at Newcastle will win the connections a few grand . Alice will charge the training fee of 2k monthly approximately to the owners so you don’t need to be clever to realise that the whole industry works on the winning bet. The bookies are in on it and if there is a horse which if it wins it will cost the bookies millions because it’s in a 7 leg accumulation bet , you can bet the bookies will tell the connections it ain’t winning and here is 100k to make sure it doesn’t is the narrative
Do these race horses ever get time where they can be turned out in the fields where they can be with friends and forage and roll and run around naturally...
@thecritic81 I have been around horses for a long time and still am ,, there are a few racing yards near to my yard I often see pregnant mares out or mares with foals at foot, but little else....
Can I ask do these horses get any turnout or are they boxed 24/7 , because every animal needs to express normal behaviour and it’s written in the welfare act .
Another good watch
Great view of Warren Hill
Bookmakers sponsoring trainers is not a very good idea it’s very dodgy.
Absolutely stinks shouldn’t be aloud
Sponsoring the pundits is just as bad, they have them in their pockets. No impartiality
