Steeplechase and hurdle racing in the Australian state of Victoria will be abolished in 2010, prompted by the deaths of 20 horses in two years. What is your reaction?đ
The decision follows the failure of new safety measures to cut fatalities and has been welcomed by animal welfare groups, who describe the races as not only shameful and barbaric but "morally wrong".
Racing's governing body in Victoria concedes that the sport is in decline due to mounting safety concerns. But members of the racing industry have reacted angrily, calling the ban "unbelievable" and "appalling".
Are these races legal or banned where you are? Has the state of Victoria made the right decision? Would you like to see more safety measures introduced into horseracing?đ
