hi all i obtained a copy of the racing post to see what was happening in their world and it seems that there is a huge decline in trainers which is good for us and the horses There is a drop of 100 trainers compared to ten years ago and this is due to the increase in feed energy and bedding Therefore many of the horses are to to larger stables to be trained and this is impacting on the betting appeal In 2013 ninety five trainers were responsible for half the runners in Britain  i also read that jockeys who use the whip too much are only suspended for ten days and then allowed to race again i thought that using a whip was illegal i will look into this more Anyway please keep sending this petition on we need more supporters im sure you are out there most people i speak to are against horse racing especially the grand national and if you donate please do thank again kate
