animal racing

[mollykins]

when humans compete, they get split into races for specific genders, and then sometimes further into weights, does this happen with all animal races?

And do they have female horses at ladies day aswell as the female spectators?

[Justincider]

Girl and boy horses run together.

[Justincider]

as do girl and boy doggies

[mollykins]

It can't make a difference then and people wouldn't bother entering females if they didn't stand a chance. How come there's such a difference in humans then?

[Justincider]

Us men are far superior to you mere girlies

[mollykins]

what you make up in braun, you lack in brain.

[Justincider]

Something like that , yes.

[mollykins]

is braun spelt differently, i've only heard the saying, never seen it written down. . .

[Justincider]

It's brawn, your spelling is for the hairdryer, typical lol

[mollykins]

you knew what i meant. . . .

[Prudie]

And horses can race separately for example the classic 'The oaks' run at Epsom is only for fillies (females)

[Justincider]

I find myself often chasing fillies across (garden) fences.

[Prudie]

Don't they want to be caught Justin!

[mollykins]

Is there any point though Prudie, if they are jsut as good as stallions?

. . .. ????

[Justincider]

Trouble is I'm carrying excess weight, it's not fair

[Prudie]

Molly it's not about 'point' it's just tradition. I think the Derby used to be just for males too but that doesn't seem to be the case now. Before you were born (if you are 16)women jockeys weren't allowed in major races either.

yes i am 16 prudie, i was born in 1993
