    • Asked Sportsbet what happens next 🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • Frankie Lor Fu-chuen is confident Horsepower will relish a return to 1,000m and a light weight when the talented sprinter tackles Saturday’s Class One Pearce Memorial Challenge Cup at Sha Tin. A three-time winner from five starts in his first Hong Kong season, the former Australian galloper drops back to the minimum trip after failing on his first attempt at 1,200m last start. Champion jockey Zac Purton told stewards that Horsepower raced too keenly in the early and middle stages and refused to...View the full article
    • Yeah mate . they're playing like a pack of dogs would when they all enjoying freedom in  togeather.  They're a herd/pack animal .  you know this. Racing isn't Fun for horses. they shake , they tremble, they're prancing around in the mounting yard full of nerves.  they'd much rather be in your paddock . You know this .  I know this. I've worked with horses and vet/with vets all my working  life. there's no No need for your Study on this ? more Basic 101.   The Racing with Whips and Jockeys is just Only A  Human Pursuit . something we enjoy . not so much the horse.  So we have to use CUE's to get them to perform . just like a circus animal really.  But if the horse had it's choice , it would not be indulging in these activities.  Farrier's, vet tubes down the nose, race Starting stalls . I've seen a HEAP of HORSES that hate these things. haven't you??  haven't you seen horses broken in ? the secret is they hate saddles, gigs , floats and that . but have to get used to it as have NO CHOICE , because we force it All on them. It's  Not stuff they would do themselves 🤣😂  Plain as Day is Real Jockeys with Whips, Hoods on their heads , burrs and shit like that. they are even more annoying to them mate.  You know this.  Eat some grass . that;s their favourite. 
    • Well if you ever watched a field full of yearlings Gamma, you'd have a different view. They regularly race each other and often reach the far end of the paddock and turn around and race each other back. I assume they do so for fun, though there might be an innate element of practising to avoid predators because the slowest one ends up their dinner. Whatever, they do it without a whip or a jockey to brandish it in sight. Have you read the studies on this?
