Sensible or sacrilege? French Racing's latest debate | The Front Page | Horse Racing | Racing Post

Absolutely agree, Geldings shouldn't be carrying more weight, there's definitely a argument for them actually carrying less weight, not party bothered about geldings being able to run in the Arc but don't really believe that they should be running in classics and wouldn't the too many runners issue be solved if it was agreed that geldings were the first category to be balloted out?

I think gelding is a performance enhancing procedure They shouldn’t be in any stakes or graded races.

Stop worrying about things in other jurisdictions, why not concentrate on the very bad state of British racing

[@richardmartin9961]

If gelding is not performance enhancing, why do it? As for "every one has a camera", if that is only reason for treating horses with respect, then racing is in big trouble. The younger generations are much more animal welfare orientated , it will only get worse.

Once again we see how very poor so called Top Jockeys judgement of a race is….What in Gods name was De Sousa thinking!!!!?? Thought he was Jamie Spencer!!!…….🙈Hopeless. And God only knows what Varian thought especially after losing Owner galore this season!!🫣

I thought Moore was just as bad and quite possibly even worse? He's sitting on a horse who doesn't seem to have a notable turn of foot and needs every inch of the mile and he's sat well off the pace.
