Straight From the Horse's Dextrous Hooves

The Queensland government is cutting $130 million from the Royal Brisbane and Womens hospital and the Metro North Hospital while giving $110 million to the racing industry. Now some people would say this is a bad thing and that the government hasn't got its priorities right, but the racing industry needs money too. After all, the Gold Coast Turf Club has to build a slick new bar and foyer and cheap tat doesn't come cheap. So I think there is room for compromise. And the obvious solution is to have horses perform surgery.
