"According to YouGov, 38 per cent of those asked about the future of horse racing in its most recent survey supported its ban, the exact same number who support it continuing, with a further 24 per cent undecided."
"One senior figure involved in horse racing has claimed that the sport's refusal to intervene over the attempts to ban greyhound racing has left it exposed to the nutters."
"The British Horse Racing Authority (BHA) has pointed out that other polling has shown clear public support for horse racing."

Despite the calls for a ban, the British Horse Racing Authority cites other polling showing that 59% of the public believes racehorses are treated well.
