Greed is the curse of mankind, and it’s not just racing that’s afflicted.
Look at politicians, top civil servants, executives of companies, the City, charities…….
No-one says stop. No-one is shamed. Those below are brainwashed by example into worshipping money and what it can buy.
We are also controlled by ‘divide and rule’, just to ensure we don’t unite against those at the top.
So, with racing, we see trainers, who should be more intelligent, berate one of their own. The issue of prize money, and other major problems, is lost because of squabbling from participants within the system.
