[Other Sport] Time to ban horse racing?

[BLOCK F]

Moronic low life, hope they get the head kicking thug.
What ever the events were that led up to the fight, there is no excuse for that kind of action.
As a regular at Goodwood over the years, I have never witnessed something like that, even before the days I could afford the Richmond Stand and had to mix with the riff-raff!

That's disgusting. I've tried to teach my kids to never throw the first punch but defending themselves is acceptable. The thing I've drilled into them the most is to never kick a person when they are down. They don't get into fights but if they did and I found out that they'd kicked someone when they were down, I'd probably ground them forever. There's never a need for that kind of violence towards someone, when they are down on the floor, it's job done.

Sadly this is nothing new to racecourses - looks like a scene from Brighton Rock - but let’s hope arrests are made.

 

[Weststander]

Quite agree. Find it quite startling that a poster believes that a high proportion of people have kicked somebody in the head. I guess I must be generation snowflake that I have never done that.

It was astonishing that a NSC poster boasted that after he’s ‘won’ a fight, he finishes it off further with a kicking of the other person. Why?

****? That four letter word began with a C by the way.

That's a load of rubbish
There's no way that bloke was attempting to murder that bloke it's that simple.He wanted the bloke hurt and not to get up to fight but not dead.Im sure many of us have kicked someone in the head to win the fight and nothing more.

If that's seen as attempted murder then I'd expect many many people to be up for attempted murder.What if he punched the bloke while he's on the floor is that attempted murder also?
If anyone has a fight you want that bloke injured or flat out to end the dispute not to kill him.Christ the prison population would triple in no time

Wow, you really are a one aren't you.

He was already knocked out.

No.

Wow, I can safely say that kicking someone in the head has never occurred to me. Especially someone lying motionless on the ground.

Going by your reply, are you the guy in video? the one who got kicked in the head?

Who won?
Team bride or team groom?

 

[Billy Seagull]

It has been going on for ages and the best place to watch racing on a Saturday now is on Racing UK and At The Races. I went to the Hennessey at Newbury three years in a row in the late nineties and there was a big all-in punch up between the English and Welsh every year. I wont go racing on a Saturday now and much prefer a midweek meeting without the pissheads. Fridays not much better now. I've been to the last two Cheltenham Festivals and haven't seen any trouble but only go in the Club enclosure.

The courses bring it on themselves as they advertise for the stag and hen do's, it's not rocket science what happens at the end of a hot afternoon on a summers day when the punters have been on the piss all day and not seen a horse between them.

Team tw@t I'm guessing!

Pretty sure most of us haven’t.
