The Heat

[trish]

Yes I think its 40 Katie . BUT in saying that I think they should go to what Kev said they did/do in Vic (start at 11am) or go to twilight , for the horses sake .
They are going on about no whips for the look of the sport, that people are now more in tune to their horses & the young generation are kinder to the horse, well what about the heat , I don't like the horses racing in the heat obviously. It knocks some around more that others.

In Vic its 38....still to high. I don't think anyone would personally want to run in that heat. If the poor horse doesn't want to run he gets a whip on his bum. I suppose that the new whip rule will give the horse some sort of buffer.
