Horse Racing

[Nebulous]

Never hear about this much anymore... Do they still do it?



Do you like watching horse racing?

 

[MrMetroid]

It's boring as hell to watch. But it is fun to do although I haven't done it in... around 5 years XD

Sorry Nebulous.....



Do I like Horse-racing?? I live and breathe Horse-racing. I work part time for my brother who Is an on course book-maker and covers nearly all the race-courses In England.



I was raised as a child on Horse-racing and my brother has race-horses.





The way to beat the Bookie Is not to randomly bet on any-thing with 4 legs...but to follow the careers of 5 or 6 horses from one particular trainer or stable. Weigh up all the competition and watch and observe every race they run.



I have worked and get to work many race-courses but this Is my absloute favourite and where I am happiest.

How did I know this thread would get a reaction out of Oscar

Heck, just look at her avatar. Kauto Star is one of the most magnificant horses you could ever hope to see race. I, myself, just loved the legendary Seabiscuit. I have seen every movie every made. This is a great video for those of you like Oscar and I who

horse racing:







*God speed to Kauto Star on Boxing Day*

Yes Jazzy..... we love and breathe Horse-racing So much so I even have a bet on The Kentucky Derby.



Seabiscuit still hold the record for the fastest speed over 6 furlongs from 1938... !!!!!



My love Is Indeed Kauto Star.



We have flat racing here In England but my passion Is National Hunt Racing and the horses are known as Chasers.

They usually race over 3 miles or more... The most gruelling being The Grand National at 4 miles 826 yards. 2nd most gruelling Is the Gold Cup at 3 miles and the King George on Boxing day at 3 miles. All of these have the most gruelling of fences.

This Is last years King George Stakes.... It Is worth watching the race In full just to see why Kauto Star Is so special.
