I lost interest in racing last year, haven't bought a racing post for about three years, barley browse the web site. I still have a few quid on in the big races occasionally....... Where the hell did this sh1t storm come from ?
As a non racing person I can not recall the occupy Newmarket or Lambourn riots over over use of the whip.... Where is the need ? Racing is a minority sport as soon as the BBC lose the Derby or C4 loses its subsidy it will be as popular as field hockey, why speed up the death sentence ? How many more punters will they get through the turnstiles;in the bookies or online with this action ?
