I don't think the morons behind this decision really know what they have bought upon the racing industry for the future.
Yes, we all know that straight away hundreds of horses will be sent to the knackery, but there is also the future impact.
As a past race horse owner (and hopefully future one) I have seen the progress a young promising stayer makes, and if that young promising stayer turns out to be a "plodder", they are usually then sent to jumps school and become a jumps horse over time.
That option will no longer exist for owners/trainers so those horses too will end up at the knackery.
This all reeks of the uneducated and pompous arses that are at the RSPCA.
