  1. Like the preferential treatment allowed for the NRL, discussing anything to do with gambling is wasting one’s breath.
    I agree, horse racing should have been subject to the same hiatus as applies to other sports but state governments plainly must regard this ‘sport’ as an essential economic enterprise.

  2. I’m surprised that this ‘sport’ has been allowed to continue. I realise each jockey is on their own horse, but they’re not 1.5m apart when racing and what about all the trainers?
    Revenue from horse racing must be good for the government?
