Download or read book The Global Horseracing Industry written by Phil McManus and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horseracing, thoroughbred breeding and gambling on racing are global industries worth several hundred billion dollars. They are also industries facing serious challenges, from the rise of alternative forms of leisure gambling to concerns about the ethical treatment of animals in all equestrian sports. This book offers a broad-ranging examination of the contemporary horseracing industry, from geographical, economic, social, ethical and environmental perspectives. The book draws on in-depth, mixed-method research into the racing and breeding industries in the US, Australia, the UK, Canada and New Zealand, and includes comparative material on other key racing centres, such as Ireland, Singapore and Hong Kong. It explores the economic structure of the global racing business, including comparisons with other major international sport businesses and other equestrian sports. It examines the social and cultural roots of the sport through its association with, and impact on, rural places, communities and environments from Kentucky to Newmarket – highlighting racing’s particular blend of tradition and scientific and technological innovation. The book also explores the ethical issues at the heart of horseracing, from reproduction to the use of the whip, and the inescapable tension between the horse as an instrumentally valuable commodity and the horse as an intrinsically valuable animal with needs and interests. The Global Horseracing Industry concludes by considering alternative futures for this major international sports business. The book is illuminating reading for anybody with an interest in sport, business, cultural geography, animal studies, or environmental studies.

Book excerpt: This dissertation explores Thoroughbred training and racing in central Kentucky's "horse country," the most culturally and economically invested horse racing region in the United States. In recent decades, public interest in horse racing has waned and this sporting industry has intensified the use of biomedical interventions, including pharmaceuticals. This is fueling rising ethical concerns about the welfare and treatment of racehorses and calls for reform, including federal oversight and regulation of the sport. Given these changes and pressures, I have sought to understand what it is like to live and work in this agrarian world. Supported by the Wenner- Gren Foundation, I spent 18 months conducting ethnographic and archival research at farms, barns, and tracks in central Kentucky, including working extensively on a mid-sized training team. Although I spent time with people representing a wide range of positions, this dissertation investigates horseracing from the standpoint of low and middling trainers, their training staff, and their horses--all of whom most acutely feel the heat and pressures of horseracing's consolidation. This scope has enabled me to provide a unique account of how the decline of an agrarian industry is reshaping human and animal life, work-related identities, social organization, and the present and future of a rural American landscape and culture. In the process of writing, I have worked to capture the feeling of the places I went and worked, and in the region that I come from and consider home. I do this by gauging, tracing, and navigating heat, a humoral folk concept of horse power that I take up and extrapolate as a multisided analytic to convey the various lived vitalities, social intensities, and industrial forces that currently characterize this inflamed cultural climate. This provides a lens into how the contradictory and disorienting inertias, momentums, and frictions--in other words, thermodynamic heats--are lived and borne, particularly by middling people and animals in middle America. I specifically analyze how different forms of heat generate what horsemen call "The Merry-go-round," the sense of feeling inextricably tied to horses and racetrack life on an entropic ride going nowhere fast but that they cannot seem to escape. In contrast to much contemporary anthropology which narrates multispecies relations in terms of the transformative and open possibilities of continual becoming, I find that affective and social forces entrench horsemen into lives and livelihoods that they know they are economically unsustainable and socially problematic. I argue that this feeling of being caught in an iterative, ever-accelerating loop is broadly indicative of the precarities and difficulties experienced by many middling workers and managers in stagnating contemporary rural America. This offers an important lens into a broader red state American politics under late capitalism in which rural people doubledown on agrarian work and worlds because they feel deeply and inextricably tied to them, unable or unwilling to escape even though they know that such commitments likely entail increasing duress, precarity, and heat.

Book excerpt: AN HONORABLE AND MANLY SPORT:The Role of Thoroughbred Horse Racing in the Antebellum SouthThis dissertation examines the role of horse racing in the Antebellum South. Within the historiography of the slave-holding south, researchers have typically placed horse racing on the margins. Some scholars treat racing only as one of the many symbols representing the planter elites cherished ideals of masculinity and honor. Others see horse racing merely as proof of the ostentatious lifestyle of the planter elite an expensive hobby. Differing markedly from these conventional views, this dissertation views the explosive growth of horse racing in the decades before the Civil War as culturally, economically, and sociologically significant. It argues that horse racing provided the planter elite not just with an extravagant hobby or convenient symbol but rather with a crucial support system that helped hold in place their hierarchical way of life. To support this claim, this dissertation shares a rich array of primary sources the diaries and letters of slaveholders, newspaper articles, and sporting periodicals gathered from several archives based in the South.
