Its National Hunt race in Australia ALL OVER AGAIN....you give the Animal Rights group an inch and they take EVERYTHING. Their end goal is the termination of racing as a sport...sooner people realise that the better.

surely no one wants to see horses hurt and every possible means to prevent that should be made....within reason. ...and thats thepoint..everyones line in the sand is different on that......every time the fences are made "easier " the uniqueness of the race fades and the spectacle for the audience decreases as it becomes more mundane .....we are in an age of health and safety and animal rights .........i am afraid the race is dead as it was defined only a few years ago....a unique spectacle that is not like any race in the world ........we cannot have it both ways...we cannot pander to modern ways and animal rights and have a race like we enjoyed 20 years ago. It is interesting to me that among the most vociferous of opponents of change over the years were and are in fact the trainers , owners and jockeys. The people who profess to love their horses. Many good points have been made today about the very soft nature of the fences ...but in my opinion every change is another nail in the coffin of what was a race that had no peers and could not be compared with any other.
