Racing

[rach125]

Hi, for a discussion next friday for my college work i have decided to lead it on the subject of racing. This is going to involve greyhoud racing as well as horse racing. And i was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas.

For example i would like to have some estimated figures on approx how many ex racers are given homes? as well as how many are killed (if anyone knows)

Thanks in advance for the help
