Note: This is not an anti horse racing website!
I get quite frustrated when a few readers automatically assume this is an anti horse racing website. This could not be further from the truth. Your comments will not be posted, please take your opinions to the racing forums.
Horses and racing are my life, help me keep this as a memorial for ALL our fallen horses, so they need not be forgotten. This site is NOT run to provide figures for anti-racing groups, but rather for owners, trainers and strappers to remember thier fallen friends.
