100 percent my feeling
Greed / money is behind the races and not much thought for a living creature
I had 25 ybs in 18 seconds this year to win the fed I don’t value the 1st over the pad more than the other 24

The points you make, Andy and Neil. is a fair point of view from people that dont like OLR. If i was to say they will all be looked after, i would be a fool. I do not argue about it being a money making sport, But it goes along with other sports. If you look around the world, it's going on in every country. I do enjoy being a part of the sport, so for myself i will carry on while i can. But good points raised by you both.

I’m not suggesting that the birds aren’t looked after as I’m sure they are. It’s just that they are used as a short term commodity where most are not around long after the final race.
But I fully understand why in your position you enjoy this way of keeping you involved in the sport.
