The point That I'm trying to make Dick , is that you can't bleat on about animal cruelty at Appleby without taking all forms of animal cruelty into consideration.

Do you really believe that, if Frankie Dettori's horse was all right, the Jockey Club would be placing a ban on him??

Would you have held the same opinion if the horse in question had been press so hard that it died of a heart attack or some other cause - which does often happen.
