It seems like we haven't evolved from the days of the Roman empire, when death spectacles were provided to keep the primitive masses 'diverted' and amused.

So right! I don't gamble and I'm not into horse racing either. Don't horses keep jumping because they are a herd animal and if they are in a group running and jumping they will carry on even when the rider has fallen off. Also some animal expert said that horses only run like that when they are afraid so if that is true, then at every horse race the beasts are running because they are afraid...
