Protesters of any sort get priority in the BBC and SKY news. BBC are basically anti racing since they lost all TV rights. Now they have to big up boxing and snooker instead.

"Very likely that a horse will die if the race goes ahead." Why do they not use an interviewer who can challenge this sort of statement by the protester?

Some plonker on GB news suggested that it would be better if we could watch thoroughbreds running free like Dartmoor ponies than watching them on the racetrack where they may get hurt. Apart from the fact that thoroughbreds wouldn't last the first winter these muppets also want to reintroduce wolves to the UK. That should be fun for all the vegans to watch wolves eating foals.
