    Not bad at all! :smile: I had 3 horses backed and got nothing out of it, got 2 on 33/1 but failed to notice the winner. One of my horses was the unfortunate According to Pete.:-(

    If that was the aim, then I can think of loads of ways they could make it more entertaining. In fact I might actually bother watching it if it had flame throwers and chainsaws instead of just horses jumping over hedges.

    I let my kids choose a horse each and put 50p to win on each, my second youngest chose the winner, and got ?18. Horse I chose is now dead.

    I wouldn't worry too much about those dead horses.

    What about grabbing some Chavs off some godforsaken estate in the UK and have them chase a giro in the same manner greyhounds chase an ersatz rabbit? ;)

    We could all gamble on the outcome.

    We'd all end up losing our money as they'd all end up stabbing each other and biting each others ears and noses off before the finish line :D

    My thoughts exactly,had to laugh at radio 5 day later when they were talking about the race.The owner of `According to Pete` comments "nobody ever asks how the jockey is,i am really soft hearted he (the horse) was like a pet to us.."
    er yeah the jockey has a choice to race but does the horse? and if you love your pet why do you put it in a dangerous situation? MOOOOONNNNEEEEEEYYYY!!!..kerching!

    Only insanely rich people have horses as pets though. Racehorses get looked after a lot better than most domesticated animals do what with having a purpose besides being lunch (unless you're French :smile:), especially the ones that win lots of races.

    hopefully itll go the same way as fox hunting, dog fighting, bear and badger baiting

    Maybe they can amalgamate it all...

    Riders on horseback, chasing foxes around a course...whilst each has a dog that can fight the others dogs to help get their owner their first. And the jumps can be replaced by bears - basically any maneouvre is acceptable to dodge the bear.

    Oh - and they can constantly shout things lilke "badgers - bunch of w*nkers!" as well.

    That's even better than my flamethrowers and chainsaws idea, oooh, could we combine the two? :lol:

    I assume it doesn't sleep in a basket next to your bed :)

    I suppose I was being a bit silly, my Aunty has a couple of horses but they're less like pets and more like a full time job heh.

    If she'd have had her way it would!

    We used to raise Quail and she had incubators in the bathroom and then would transfer the hatched chicks to big tubs with heat lamps..also in the bathroom...I was so used to the constant twittering when in the bathroom that after I moved out I couldn't S**T properly for 6 months without it.

    She moved in 4 rabbits after I left too. Hate to think what that house smells like now.
