    There's one horse gone... (50% loss)


    I presume it costs money to enter all these races?

    Yes initially I was like, whoa she's a shouter, but then I figured that he was a bit hard of hearing!


    Yes that is her. She was only 28. Tragic.

    Would the horse not have been vet checked also before he bought it?

    I enjoyed that. But left a lot of unanswered questions. How do you "keep going" and trying with those kind of losses. It's not a job, it's a very expensive hobby if it keeps going this way.

    Very expensive with potentially very little reward, was it clear how he afforded it (aside from his initial winner), is that his "job"?

    Great programme. As a greyhound owner (much smaller scale!) it was very realistic. Well done!
