Should we abolish the Royal family?

[Fenster]

Where would the horse-racing industry be without royal patronage over the years?

Good posting. Horse racing is the shit so I'm all for the Royal Family if it's true that they own all the horses in England. Euro-Horses are shit though, while some American thoroughbreds have been described as 'negative.'

Breeders cup 2009. Fourteen "championship" races.

Europe 6 wins from 30+ horses. USA 8 wins from 150+ horses. Plus you yeehaws all run on drugs banned everywhere else in the world. USA = owned! Fact.

Kirk, my point was about the ridiculous notion that the Queen has an unenviable lifestyle.

The Queen is an independently wealthy woman. She could have buggered off years ago and lived off the interest off her interest and had an unbelievably lavish lifestyle, even compared to the one she has now. Instead she spent every year up till she was 80 doing 200+ domestic engagements a year, foreign tours etc. If that was me I would have done one charity event meeting worthies and saying nice things to unfortunate people then said sod it and been a playboy for the rest of my life. You couldn't make me do one of those things at gunpoint if I knew I could bugger off and enjoy myself instead. So what if the bits in between the endless engagements, endless travelling are nice? They'd be much nicer and more of them for an elected prez.

...created with our money.

200 engagements - Because she has a sense of duty, which is great but that is not the issue.

OK I didn't see this shit. First of all, 8>6. I'm not sure what they teach you in Ireland, but that's simple math. And OF course there are going to be 5 times as many horses from the US. To get a horse overseas and acclimated is a complete bitch, it's the reason you never see American thoroughbreds go over to England.

You guys did good this was your best showing ever I believe, but you didn't have Zenyatta and how can you be owned when you have Zenyatta? No way.

Also, your statement about the horses being doped is shit. I'm sure stuff goes on in the states but no doubt it goes on EVERYWHERE. We do have testing.

It's not shit. All American horses run on Lasix, a drug banned everywhere in the world apart from America.

It's also common knowledge there's an embarrassing drug image with American racing. Of the current top 10 American trainers this year only ONE has never been done for doping horses. That is a REAL fact. Serious.

6 race wins from 20 travelling horses is clearly far more impressive than 8 wins from 150 drugged up cheating ones. America got owned. Believe it. Fact.

......such an interesting opinion about the ROYAL FAMILY especially coming from one of the posters that says I go off topic.

Hold up

1. When have i ever accused you of doing anything? That's clearly rubbish. I don't give a fuck what you do.

2. I don't give a flying fuck about the ROYAL FAMILY. I don't give a fuck whether they exist or not. They are nothing but silver-spoon born rich cunts that mean nothing to me.

3. All good threads go off topic. Fact.

Horse Racing? Fucking hell

I guess its better than Nascar in the sense that the misery ends quickly.

Nag racing is great.

I'm proud to be a 17 year degenerate gambler... homeless and on the run but still proud.
