I was spending some time with my friends parents and there was not only a huge party but all of them placed p2p bets on the horse racing. They asked me to come over as well, the ending was deeply sad and essential to cover : The horse died after winning of a heart attack.

The horse was presenting signs of heart attack on the camera but no one was actually even giving it a second thought and at the end when it was the last lap, all the horses got whipped excessively hard as well. That gets me to my point "why do you support horse racing?" This is honestly far to cruel to continue.

According the this site: https://www.horsedeathwatch.com/background.php they have seen more than 2000 deaths in around 5500 days. Most of the horses die during the match as well, they also have instances where they are exploited using drugs (doping).

Are you aware that most of the horses go through slaughter as well? Some of them have very bad injuries making them not even the least bit useful for the business therefore they are killed without second thought. I do hope people would get more aware and try and steer away from *horse racing*.

This is a very ancient sport/game. It is not going to get banned. Probably never. Lots of football players die of heart attack every year. They run like horses too. The are many similarities between a horse race and a soccer game. Just because footballers die sometimes, do we need to ban football/soccer? This logic don't make any sense to me.

I understand your sentiments OP but we all know that you cannot put a ban easily just because of that certain reason. Racehorses are expected to collapse or worst they die when heart attacks develop, and this sudden death do happens regardless how healthy or unfit the horse is. Not only in horseracing, but even in cockfighting as well. We often see roosters end their lives after a fight. So banning these kind of sports are still useless, as gamblers will always play on it not because of their winning bets, but because these games have already been established long time ago.

-It is not just the problem of them dying of a heart attack, it's also :

•How they are treated
•How they are beaten up on the tracks, whipped
•How they are slaughtered once they are not useful
•How some of them are denied even basic health care because it's cheaper to replace them
A LOT MORE

I think the sport and the bets don't need to be banned, but the issues you mentioned above instead. If horses are found being abused, drugged and not cared properly at all, the responsible people for them should be sued, fined and probably arrested in some cases. We know there are animals suffering in every sports they get directly or indirectly involved, although it's too extremist to ban everything because of it.

In horse racing favour I can say horses must be well cared if the managers want them to improve performance and compete for a longer time. Smart managers aren't fool to harm expensive pure breed horses, making them live for less time. That would be unprofitable. So these horses have VIP treatment, feeding and training much superior to common horses we see at pastures.

Humans choose to, footballers choose their sports, they choose to be there. I do not think that anyone should even need a reason to stop animal cruelty. Plus gambling fuels this majorly. Horse betting is so popular especially in England.

Even humans do have heart attack. Horses are not giving medical care like humans.

You want horse race to be banned? Then you should want human 100 meter, others short distance and marathon races to be banned too.

If you want it to be banned, I mean hourse race, you want many other races to be banned, such as dog race. If you want that, you need to have political power. Even if you have political power, there are many chances that your proposal may not be accepted.

Again there is always the Choice that we Humans have, we also have the choice to make other people aware about things that they might ignore normally.
