Two horses electrocuted at the races.

Watt happened? I wasn't Ohm at the time so did see the news. Is there an alternate, current source for the news report? Shocking , and I expect it is generating lots of interest, but cancelling the day's racing seems a bit like closing the door after the horse has volted.

Has someone been charged?

Or is opinion polarised? No doubt organisers will face a battery of questions, but I am positive that there will be a negative outcome for them.

I'm neutral about the whole issue.

Tough crowd!

I stopped my young kids watching it on the news- I like to insulate them from shocking events. Plus my daughter had some maths homework- some basic statistics. She needed to represent the findings of a traffic survey of light commercial vehicles.

I told her to google van graph generator!

I thought this thread would generate more interest. But it seems very static.

It's no way to conductor race meeting.

I'm surprised there isn't more resistance to this series

The deaths ampere to be caused by exposed cabling but until the investigation is complete, hoof's to say what the real cause is?

Genuine extract from the Daily Soovy, they must have been reading this thread:

'Marching Song’s part-owner Graham Thorner said the fallen horse had ‘great potential’.
He added: ‘To a layman with no evidence, you would say it was electrical. The lad who was with him was saying, “I’m getting an electric shock off this horse”.'

There's just no logical raison for electricity to be there?

Blimey, he was a racehorse & played football at the local youth club before being tragically cut down? I bet he'd had trial for QPR and when he was a foal he was in the local youth orchestra too.
