In terms of blame for the sport of horse racing itself I thought the documentary was tame enough. A lot of the horses shown were not thoroughbred racehorses at all you could tell by looking at them, and despite their attempts to blame Gordon Elliott and Gavin Cromwell for everything, surely the focus should be on the people operating these abattoirs?
Some sad scenes all the same with the horses in the slaughter houses

I see Panorama are doing a hatch job on racing tonight by the looks of it. Throwing Elliot's name into the mix to try and make it more sensational even though whatever happened would, most likely, have had nothing to do with him.

It not just people like trainers and people who work in yards. It's farriers, people who make the equipment, people who work on racecourses, people who work for the companies making the horse feed, vets, transport companies etc.

If they subsidised the income for paper rounds we'd have more people doing paper rounds.

If that is what you believe then that would apply to all jobs.

I'm always sceptical when an industry commissions a re report on itself, they can basically pay Deloitte to say what they want, and if they don't like it, they'll just not release it

What percentage of money spent on betting in Ireland is on racing? What percentage of taxes from betting does racing receive?

Not sure if the point has been made here but the subsidy that racing gets from the government comes from betting generated from racing. And studies show that the return received from this investment is huge. EDIT: I see this has been mentioned above.

A point I should have made yesterday is the coverage in relation to this case and the goings on at Davy’s.
Which is worse and which for more coverage and greater punishment .

The problem is the money generated from gambling on Irish football is mainly generated in the Balkans.

One of Niall Quinn’s arguments for greater funding for football is the amount of tax it generates from gambling, which as we have seen abound is one of the arguments for funding horse racing.

Betting laws are much more stringent in France and horseracing is of little cultural significance, comparatively at least.

If you look at france and a few other countries they tax betting more and that money goes back into the industry

It's certainly diversified and one of my (many) criticisms of modern football is that one of its main purposes seems to be to promote gambling and keeping Ray Winstone relevant, but I don't think the Irish government is pushing millions into the EPL and then telling everyone it's great for the economy!
There's also the logical point that while football has been linked with gambling since its early days, it wasn't dependent on it. Should gambling be banned there would still be football. The reverse argument, that there wouldn't be horseracing, is strengthened by actions like Elliott's.
