HORSE RACES

[Dragon]

and now all this doesn't belong in the happy halls does it ,

In fact, yes, it does.  By definition, Happy Halls is "For jokes, anecdotes, or anything else that can help lighten people's load a bit."  When I first saw the horse race, it did lighten my spirits - even if it was in the wrong place.  All those additional "Yay!" messages were not so enjoyable.

it sure doesn't look much like anything happy anymore ,

You're right there, this is not enjoyable for anyone.

maybe it should be in general discussion and why is it

No, it should not be in General Discussion which is why Jenni moved it to Happy Halls where it's more appropriate.

I'll repeat one last time, if you have any further discussion regarding this, it should be in PM with Thistle.
Fin!
