Has T taken his bat and ball Billy? If so, my divkhead job here is done!
Hope he has now watched the full Panodrama and not just based his comments on those British rags The Sun and Daily Mail🙄.As expected, not a good watch for the horse lover re the abbotoir malpractice, and this is where the buck lies and stops in the programme, Regarding the practices followed!
Programmes like Panodrama are designed to uncover what the makers believe is wrongdoing and to present it as strongly as possible.
The good thing to come out of the programme, was that it will (and they should )keep the BHA on their toes as far as the welfare of ex racehorses are concerned. The rest of the Panodrama programme was laughable(imo), cue the dishevelled/hungover McIntyre, 12 month recording surveillance cameras and and the Bafta winning editing trying to imply that trainers Elliot and Cromwell were responsible, because they had nothing else to fill the slot.
This programme may not have been a balanced view of the sports record, but would agree, that does not mean that we cannot learn a little something from their accusations and what they found. Contrary to what some may believe, racing should be open to scrutiny and engage proactively with criticism wherever equine welfare is concerned.
With the introduction of E passports, relating to identification, health welfare, ownership and movement, hopefully we as owners and horse lovers alike can be more responsible for our sport.
