Thought I would put this up in time for the Cheltenham festival of cruelty and death. Click on the link any time, to see how many horses have been murdered in the UK today... and remember folks, you bet they die. www.horsedeathwatch.com/ |

NB... The total on Racehorse Deathwatch is estimated to be 30% short of actual fatalities... So for every 2 or so deaths you see recorded on the board, add another.

Not sure if "liking" the post was the correct thing but thanks for making people aware.

And the numbers keep rising day after shameful day... and not just at Cheltenham ☹️
How anybody involved in horse racing, or as a punter, can say they love horses with a straight face is beyond me.

had to google that, didnt know it was a Prince song. I like some of the wee mans early stuff Yeah I noticed 'Paisley Park' trending on me phone when I was out and thought it was to do with Prince's studio/home (like the song, also called PP) Then I saw it was about a bleedin' nag. But well done on your win. It's where Prince was found dead. I remember well the reaction to 'Around The World In A Day' (the psychedelic not-very-commercial album that followed the multi-million selling blockbuster 'Purple Rain') WTF is this, critics were asking. Some liked it, most didn't. 'Paisley Park' was the first single off it as I recall, followed by the irresistible 'Raspberry Beret'. The name of the album and artist wasn't even printed on the sleeve (the execs loved that) and my copy came with a peel-off sticker with the title on it - rather like the infamous 'Black Album' a couple of years later. There are some nifty little numbers on 'Around The World...' like 'Tambourine', a manic little bass/percussion-driven jumper, 'America', an angry cut that digs deep into the heart of The White House, and the very catchy bubblegum pop funk of 'Pop Life' which I think was the third single from the album. The other three tracks 'Condition of the Heart', 'The Ladder' and 'Temptation' always sounded a little OTT to my ears in the melodramatic department. The album went double platinum, despite the critics, mostly, I suspect, because fans were expecting another 'Purple Rain' without hearing a track before buying it. Hee hee, but that was Prince, brah, always something different, never the expected.

Sir Erec suffers fatal injury on Gold Cup day.
Triumph Hurdle (1.30): As I suspected it would be, it has been confirmed that Sir Erec has had to be put down. What a shame that is. Commiserations to his connections: trainer Joseph O’Brien, owner JP McManus, jockey Mark Walsh and of course, whatever member of O’Brien’s staff had the job of looking after him. That person, whoever he or she may be, will almost certainly be devastated.

It's a sin they are not prosecuted under animal cruelty laws so it is 😠 |

Another one. Invitation Only in the 3.30 race. Fell and was put down. I'm hearing they started the following race even though the stricken horse was still being treated on the course. If this is true, what the f***?
