Melbourne Cup: Two horses killed
#6
We are not ignoring you. You make good points, but I know with our racing industry here, the focus is on the horse being able to earn. No owner wants a horse that recovers, but can't run.

We also have trouble with our chuck wagon races at the rodeos. The will to win is strong and horses and sometimes riders get killed.

I think they have trouble with car racing and accidents. Athletes get killed trying faster and better things. We are not prudent when we get the urge to win.

The National in England has horse deaths every year. Some probably are not preventable, but I am sure some are preventable.

We are hoping that these races will review any deaths and see if there is room for improvement in how things are done.
