Horse Racing: Has it Gone too Far?

Hello fellow Blogies. Recently in Dubai there was a horse race that had a lot at stake. This race offered a price of $10 MILLION to the winner. Coming into the race the #9 ranked horse in the world was favored to win. This horse was none other than the American star California Chrome. For those who don’t know who California Chrome is he is a horse who won the first two races of the Triple Crown last year. After it all ended it we learned that California Chrome races better on American soil because he ended up getting second in this race. The winner of the $10 million was Prince Bishop, who had a 14/1 chance to win before the race.

Before I give my opinion I would just like to say that I am not fond of horses and do not follow horse racing unless it’s the Kentucky Derby. But, in my opinion, I think $10 million for a horse race is a little absurd. I mean all that is happening is a bunch of horses running around a track to see who is the fastest. I mean California Chrome was bought for two thousand dollars and he had a chance to win $10 million. Honestly I think maybe one million dollars should be the max amount they could win but I can’t control that so.
