Yet another jumps horse killed at Warrnambool!
Mr Hines: You and RVL should be ashamed!
Sirrocean Storm, another victim of jumps racing.
Hines said Sirrocean Storm’s death shouldn’t taint what has been a “great start” to the jumping season. “I think it’s gone really well. There are always going to be accidents” Hines said. Adam Hamilton: Track Invaders fail to dampen enthusiasm. Herald sun May 7th 2010
“IF we wanted to be dramatic we could suggest it was a cover-up. It goes close to being one, but we will settle for lack of transparency. The racing industry desperately tried to bluff Australia that the Warrnambool jumps carnival was a success.” Patrick Smith: The sickening demise of Sirrocean Storm. The Australian 11th May 2010
“If that was a formula one race they would bring out the safety car and get the injured people and cars out of the way first, here they just force the injured animal off with no regard to the pain it must be in. Honestly, how many sports are out there that have a screen ready to hide the killing of one of the competitors?” Response to the Smith article by Jeannette of Brisbane.
