A disgraceful comment to make when you don't know any of the people involved

Panther,

Have a bad day did you?
Get off your hobby horse. This game is not a politically correct picnic.

My interest is with the horse not it's rich owners, who I'm sure aren't crying their eyes out for the poor punters who backed the poor thing.

I had a good day thank you--has nothing to do with political correctness. The owners would be a lot more shattered than you re the incident--love for their horse has nothing to do with their wealth, and I'm sure they love him a lot more than any punters, who will just move onto the next race.

A racehorse at 550kg travels at 60kph and at 1 point the whole weight and force is supported by a peice of bone the size of a 10 cent coin, and its supporting ligaments--the wonder is that more horses don't brake down. CIS was relatively lightly raced and to suggest that connections were anything but greedy. Guy Walter is a great trainer who would never race a horse if there was a major problem with him.

What happened to CIS was terrible (fortunately he will survive), but don't get into the crap of blaming the owner's greed--it was simply one of those awful things that happen in racing, and the owners, who obviously cared greatly for him, should not be slandered in such a manner.

Yeah right, they loved him so much they made him do a quick turnaround straight into a group 1 duel against Racing to win with Desert War going to be forcing the pace, just after what many experts considered a gutbuster run at Newcastle to just hold off Malcolm the previous week.

Give me a breaK.

You are so full of ********. So Guy Walter is an idiot who doesn't know his horse--I would trust his judgement way ahead of your so called experts

Everyone is untitled to their opinion. Mine is 'disgraceful' and yours is all heaven and light.

OK, whatever you say.

C'mon guys. Settle down.
