Dog races are worse than horse races, mostly because the dogs are trained to be more-or-less psychotic. Horses, you can see as understanding the competition they're in and being (at least mostly) willing participants.

Can you explain about the dogs? I thought that while they aren't always treated well, running and chasing things is natural for them.
