It's Melbourne Cup hear in Australia! Even though normally I don't care about horse racing I can never miss the Melbourne cup!

Oh I like horse racing! I grew up with horses and think they are beautiful.

I've never really watched horse racing but I see how you would like it but something I hate is how the horses die! Just in the one race two horses died!

I agree with you on the sport being hard on the horses and dislike it also. I hate to see any animal pushed beyond endurance or injured during a race. I grew up with rodeos and that can be rough on horses too. But a horse's beauty is something I can enjoy looking at.and appreciate.

Sort of a side note to horse racing...a lot of people like dog racing but my cousin runs a greyhound rescue organization and she can tell way too many horror stories about the dogs involved.

Sports in general (football, boxing, car racing, etc.) can be hard on any person or animal involved. But they are still enjoyed by millions. Maybe we aren't so far from the old gladiator days after all?

I love horse racing as well. It still takes my breath away every time I see Secretariat's incredible 31 length win at the 1973 Belmont stakes.

Does mushing (Dog sled racing) count as a sport? I also love volleyball.
