The Death Race

[my miss storm cat]

Last year, Sixteen won the Velka Pardubicka (Czech Republic), Cieszymir fell into a 17-foot ditch, I can't remember how many were pulled up (or fell)

Sixteen, a grey 8YO (or I think she's 8 anyway) mare, won again this year by DQ.

Anyone know how many were hurt? How many didn't make it home?

Over 4 miles, 31 obstacles..... sorry if I've offended anyone by calling it Death Race 2008, but...

Wasn't that an old David Carradine movie? They got points for hitting people with their car I think.

Explain it to me.

I don't understand the point of it... it sounds grueling and painful. Pointless.

If I'm wrong tell me why. (You too, Brock).

Don't get me started on anything written by Robert Thom.

Long story...

I just agree with you about the inrrational way of the industrie in some countries. Horses dont reserve this. I hope that it was your point.
Love you.....

Oh I'm so sorry, I read it too fast and took it to mean the opposite!

HUGS!

This is all I can find...

Looked at the record of one of the old guys..... I was just curious about him... he's 12 and it said this was his only start (???). Looked up a couple more... Fatal Mac, Kasjer, Profil, Klip, Marath... this is the only race listed for all of them.

Is this right?

Do they let anyone in this race or what?
