Baa_Baa_Blacksheep asked:


Some greyhounds go back with the breeder, some are killed, and some are adopted out. Well the same goes for horses so why are people all against greyhound racing and not horse racing?

I did a report and seen it all…a lot of the worst pictures shown in greyhound racing come from Ireland…not the US where NGA will suspend you for animal abuse in a heartbeat.

Sir Marmalade Beauville-Lobe IV asked:


I’ve just read that over a hundred horses have died in the last year during horse racing.
Am I missing something here? Surely if we took another animal, dogs for example, and started involving them in some sport where some end up dying, I can’t see anyone accepting this.
Just seems to me that depsite the fact that this many horses perish in the name of sport, generally it’s seen as just a bit of fun.

Iskandar asked:


I must sound naive, but I don’t really know. I’m sure there are other greater events of it’s kind (maybe in the UK), though how does the Melbourne cup stand it in all, on a global level?

Or is it known world wide, though mainly exclusively for the horse racing folk?

Or not known at all?
wow I didn’t realise

Well you know what they say, it’s worth a shot. I am an actor and musician mainly, been acting for 10 years and playing guitar/bass/drums and piano for 5. I know skills such as horse riding, swimming, freefalling and racing. Been told locally to try out my luck so yeh, how does it all happen for Hollywood basically?

PUzzled asked:


In horse racing, how many different types of surfaces are there? I know dirt and turf are traditional, with different grades of each, but now there polytrack, pro-ride, and who know what else? Is there evidence that the man-made surfaces are safer? Which types of horses do best on what surface? Clearly, my question(s) are broad in nature, I’d like to learn more about each.
