mike i would just like to say racing is a recreational sport we do not need it just like smoking it is done for pleasure, so from an anti point of view its animals put at risk for the public to make money from. and at the end of the day it will come down to public opinion as to who has the last vote, i fought long and hard for the rite for my dog to hunt not because i like killing hares but because that was the dogs natural thing to do but the public had the upper hand and it was put through parliment and banned. kind regards, lee.
