Warrnambool steeplechase

[NoChanceToDance]

I can say I was there when this happened

Any sympathy for the people injured? none whatsoever, a bunch of freeloaders that wanted to watch the racing, but didn't want to pay $25..... so they stood outside the track on a road, next time ya think they might pay?

One of them was a very young child, though - doubt it was her decision to be standing there.

the horse was amazing jumped the fence didn't spook when it landed in the people, just wanted to get away could have been so much worse!!!

Who would have thought a horse would jump that size fence? (quite frankly, I'm extremely impressed with the courage of this horse). I'm sure it was influenced by his running alongside the other horses on course (being able to see them out of his right eye).

I know jumps racing has been under attack in Australia, how is the fallout this week? I am a fan of jumps racing, and I don't want it to be outlawed.
