horse racing: read all about it!

​Sadly, newsvendors no longer loudly inform potential customers of that day’s Epsom Derby or Grand National winner, and there will not be a report on racing’s biggest races of the year on the front page, either. If the King & Queen were to be so lucky, then that would a horse of a different feather. Holly Doyle, too, might make the front page if she won the Derby. Or Saffie Osborne, of course, as she’s the coming lady of the flat.
In sporting terms, socially the sport of horse racing in waiting in line to become pariah status, with air-headed warriors for animal welfare achieving greater media attention for their wrecking mentality than those of us who actually care for animals of all kind and, as the case with the sport of horse racing, continue to put the needs of horses before all else and when tragedy strikes, as it must in all walks of life, the tears are real and not of the crocodile type.
The death of a racehorse, as with any domestic pet, is a blow to the heart. Just because life goes on after the tragedy of losing a horse to a fatal injury or heart attack or whatever, it does not imply a lack of sympathy or a callous nature. In Afghanistan, in the aftermath of the earthquake a few days ago, life goes on because it must go on. Israel and Gaza are going toe-to-toe again at the moment but people still need to go to the shops, to tune in every evening to whatever soap opera they have become addicted to. But it does not mean people go about without a heavy heart and a deep desire for the world around them to be a better place.
Personally, I only read the Racing Post and for many years I have not watched mainstream news as to my mind they are institutions with scant regard for truth and integrity. Today, sadly, perhaps criminally, Britain has a controlled media, very much in alignment with Russia, China and other nations who we are told are our opposites when it comes to freedom of speech and freedom of association. From the wordsmiths of the Racing Post it seems the sport has gained ground in its dispute with animal activists, with the looney left giving our sport a wide berth at the moment. Doubtless they will return, unknowingly doing the work of the foreign bodies that have planned the destruction of societies around the world for decades and are now slowly but surely achieving their aim. We will not survive just because of our elitist image.
This is my greatest fear in life, even though you would get short odds on me not living long enough to witness the eventual destruction of every department of society that I have enjoyed, and taken for granted, all of my near seventy-years. Affordability checks are, in my opinion, an opening salvo in a public debate on the ethics of gambling, a debate that will over the next few decades be opened up to include the moral viability of the sport itself. Love of the racehorse will, in the end, not be enough to save the species when children will be indoctrinated, amongst other social about-turns, that horse racing is the modern-day equivalent of bear-baiting or cock-fighting. It is, I’m afraid, the line of travel, even if the speed of descent is so slow the eventual destination is unknown to all but those in charge. And I do not mean the B.H.A.
Racecourses, as with golf-courses, are, when they are located in cities and towns, green lungs, an oasis of non-development. Yet think of all the racecourses of the past that now lie under the brick and tarmac of housing estates, business parks and shopping centres. We nearly lost Cheltenham and Aintree to the developers, remember. How many present-day racecourses are in the firing-line to go the same way as Folkestone, Stockton, Birmingham and Manchester?
The long-term aim of the World Economic Forum’s ‘Great Reset’, a proposal for extreme change in the way people live their lives and adopted by nearly all the ‘democratic’ governments around the world, is to rewild the countryside, to ban the farming of animals for human consumption, for people to only eat plant-based foods, to ban the keeping of domestic pets, all, and a whole lot more, in the name of climate change and net zero, both of which are challenged by far more scientists and experts in the field than mainstream media will allow you to know about. Where in the above scenario, which, if you can now find it, is laid out on the W.E.F. website or in any book Klaus Schwab has ever published (he is founder and small king of the W.E,F. – think Bond villain and you will have his image clearly defined) do you think the racehorse can be found?
To provide the food a horse needs to be the complete athlete it is, takes up many thousands upon thousands of acres. Oats, hay, straw, every ingredient that goes into horse nuts, etc. It also needs miles of land to be trained on and a racecourse to be raced on. All of which goes against the policies urged by Klaus Schwab and his unelected cronies and to be adopted by governments worldwide. It’s all about saving the planet, you see!
Affordability checks is just a distraction. An important battle to win short-term but not by a long chalk the biggest battle the sport will face by the year 2040 or the following decade.
Just glad I won’t be alive to witness the diabolical plan unfold!
I might be labelled a ‘conspiracy theorist’ for my views, a tag that really should be seen as ‘truth-seeker’, which we all should be, not blind followers of political rhetoric or idealism, but fighting for the survival of my sport is a hill I am prepared do die on. Are you?
