There are many reasons why this ban on jumps racing is the best move to make. Looking at things from an "injury to jockey" standpoint, the reasons are obvious. Looking at it from an "animal welfare" perspective, the reasons are equally obvious. There is enough horse racing on the flat to be worried about whether or not horses can jump over barriers in the middle of a track.

The removal of jumps races means two things straight off the bat, (1) no more riders will be injured in falls as a result of the hurdles, and (2) no more horses will get prematurely put down due to the same reasons.

Just a perspective from someone who has never understood the need for jumps races.
