Anyone agree with me?  That sport need to be ban and those Jockey need to be fine. That is my 2 cent

TaliaBBy Posted at 8:28 pm on July 4, 2009 Crops(whips) are leather, and horses skin is 7-8 times thicker than ours. that would be the least of your worries. they shouldnt give them drugs or make them run so young..before their bones are set. macdog Posted at 7:47 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from bluskypeChris at 6:34 pm on July 4, 2009 So how would you like getting hit in the back every time? Think of the horse man its not harming them. Its just a tap on the back to remind them to run. return2me Posted at 6:40 pm on July 4, 2009 usually id say no, but that one that broke its ankles makes me think differently. imagine running so hard you break your ankles   Niick Posted at 6:39 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from bluskypeChris at 9:34 pm on July 4, 2009 So how would you like getting hit in the back every time?

Those horses are worth millions, they wouldn't dare the risk of hurting them. ToyJetpack Posted at 6:34 pm on July 4, 2009 Hell no, that is ridiculous. horseracing is one of the oldest and most revered sports. blitzerdog Posted at 6:33 pm on July 4, 2009 no.
