This is not a knock on Horse Racing & it’s fanbase. But having said that something is very wrong when we have Horses getting injured in these races & then having to be destroyed for everyone to see. Maybe they need to stop running these horses so young but that’s just my opinion.

My girlfriend really loves horses and really wants to be a jockey and i want her to take to a track to watch a race. The question is how old do you have to be to enter because I know that its considered like a casino and I’m 18 so I think i can go but she is only 16 and I don’t know if she’ll be let in. We won’t be doing any gambling just watching the race so I don’t know if there is like a seperate section where the people that are there are only there to watch.. that would be perfect haha

thanks!

The decomposition of culture, declination of morale, addictive to drugs, horse racing, stocks, why not pension

Hong Kong citizens are appeared as sort of decomposition of culture, declined moral standards, don’t give a damn to each other, extremely sharp about gambling in horse racing and stock markets, greed and unconcerned. Why don’t they think about their future safety net of Hong Kong pension, say at least five thousand HK per month. They are **** heads and continue to seek the winning of a lottory ticket, a triple triactor, a surge on stock markets. It is not practical! Only pension can provide them a sahety net for the rest of their life. Should Hong Kong citizens deserve a pension fund?

(Basketball) I ve been to the track often and I have watched a certain horse get out in front time and time again, yet get caught right at the wire. Sound like the horse is to old or the jockey missed manages its strength.

Anyone have this video where a horse racing announcer screws up this horse’s name?

January 8th, 2009
Evan W asked:


In this video the announcer calls some horse himamakarakadola…and he can’t pronouce it so he just makes stuff up…To help jog memories the other horse’s names in the race were Sing My Tune, Gallyace, and Homeroom Jester. I am looking for this video, its funny.
