What I saw today was some sort of joke. I realise it happens all the time in Vic. etc and for that matter anywhere when it rains but it surely is a blight on the industry.

Hi TheKey,

this is purely a value judgement... it is your value judgement and you are entitled to it. While I certainly wouldn't want to see horses running around in dangerous situations, why is it that everything has to be homogenised and pasteurised to the point that it's all at the same, bland, non-changing state?

I for one don't mind a bit of mud flying around... I like the challenge of finding those mudlarks that seem to excel in those situations.... There are some very good horses around that can only run in the slow/heavy conditions, and watching them revel in their conditions is every bit as enjoyable as watching Lonhro run home... but only when I haven't bet against him!!! :smile:

Cheers,
Chris.
