      Horse racing receives a massive subsidies and tax breaks from state and does zero to improve health and safety

      It’s pure wrong that it receives a free pass every time from the media

      The poor man and his family.

      “75,000 races run Australia-wide from August 2002 to July 2006.

      They counted 3,360 race falls, which resulted in 861 serious injuries and five jockey deaths.”
      “Jockeys had a higher risk of fatality than pilots and flight engineers, logging workers, structural metal workers, farm workers, roofers and truck drivers, or participants in sports such as skydiving, motorcycling and boxing,” Dr Blizzard also writes, citing US-based research.

      “Only fishers and related fishing workers had a higher fatality rate.”

      So fishing is really dangerous. Which seems a good reason to keep moving away from [capture methods of fishing](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/capture-fisheries-vs-aquaculture)

      I find professional boxing now pretty dodgy to put my money into. And I had not realised that being a jockey is more dangerous.
