welcome to the future,

everyday you walk into a bookies racing from turfontain etc,why do i not back in these races......boring,and you lose your money on a jockey thats holding on and hoping rather than enticing the horse torun and win.....

everyday you look at atr to watch turf paradise,zia park  etc.....same story boring racing......

in my opinion with the whip rules excitement and characters will leave this sport soon and we will have uninteresting race meetings with nothing to excite a fan and suddenly the fobt is the major player in a bookies.............

i love the horse,i love the greyhound,, but come back to reality,the whip isnt a "cat o nine tails" jockeys are experts in there fields ,so are trainers ,staff etc,how many are standing up to be counted behind certain journalists .......

our racing future is heading to the level of above named tracks if this ban continues...

i seem to remember when the dog hunting ban was being imposed mr mcCirrick was appealing for people to support field sports!!!!! weird eh!!!!

by the way this is just my opinion,and yes i have owned a racehorse,and currently own some greyhounds both tracking and coursing in ireland where i live.
