I object to a subsidy being given, out of the tax on betting, to racehorse owners.
I should like a system which covers all racehorse owners.
Racehorse owners benefit from sponsorship, which boosts prize money.
Like all other owners of greyhounds, or racehorses for that matter, hope springs eternal.
There is no doubt that the cost of keeping, owning and training racehorses is very different from that associated with greyhounds.
When we have a racehorse, we do not think of using it to pull a dray.
I also entirely agree that the rule applying to decrepit horses should not apply to racehorses.
The rule that applies in the case of a decrepit horse ought not to apply in the case of a racehorse.
