With this happening yesterday in the Melbourne Death Race 2020:
...I am reminded of my very reasonable proposal of last year for racing to change into robot horse racing, with these transitional provisions:
a. University engineering schools to develop courses devoted to robot horses, and their rechargeable batteries (the entire economy will benefit from the latter).Actually, I was thinking: it's going to take a while to get to battery powered horses with jockeys on their back to be able to run, quickly, the sort of distance that will satisfy punters. Ideally, as a further transitional provision, I would now add:
b. Race meetings to immediately move to having half of all races run with jockeys and trainers in pantomime horses until sufficient robotic horses start to come on track.
c. All retired thoroughbred horses to be housed in spare bedrooms of the breeders. That should solve the over-breeding issue.
I think this is a wise and reasonable suggestion. If there was a way retired horses could shoot injured pantomime horses I would try to factor that in too, but I am a realist.
* Jockeys allowed to carry robot horses on their backs over the rest of the race.
Of course, should they break their legs doing so, some real horses could probably be trained to shoot guns, couldn't they? Even if just a tranquilliser, the imagery would be terrific.

Once every three days? I mean its not like we have to close down the racing industry. But we need to be able to get to the bottom of why this is happening.
