Calls to investigate how VIC racing body is spending money
Thoroughbred trainers and animal welfare activists are demanding to know what's happened to the millions of dollars Racing Victoria sets aside each year to help find homes for retired racehorses. About 1800 racehorses exit the industry in Victoria every year, with 2 per cent of prize money, or about $5.5 million set aside to help re-home them. But those who re-train the horses say they're struggling to survive and want to know where the money's going.
