I read on a racing forum that there were concerns from trainer that the main stand lights kept flickering on and off like disco lights around 1pm.

In horses the electric current in such circumstances travels up the back legs­ and down the front (going through the heart) whereas in­ humans it is up one leg down the other - unless someone­ is holding hands in which case it could be equally fatal­ as through the heart.

Why up the back legs rather than the front? Do horses have a dipole moment?

Sorry. I'm bored. Overeducated and underemployed. Nothing better to do than drink wine and post on here it what is approaching the small hours.

Looks like the front and back of a panto horse have got very cosy.

Chicken Kiev just after midnight? You're either in a different time zone or work shifts?
