    Assuming you were attempting to name a sport where women are better than men - ROFPML!

    Put the world champion (womens) netball team against even an average mens basketball team and I would wager the mens team would win - given a little while to learn the rules.

    Saying Netball is a bit like saying - Womens shot putt....
    ie The world champion/record holder is a woman but the male record, with a much heavier ball, is much longer.. and the man could hurl the womens shot an awful lot further.

      There are sports where women are 'better' in the sense it's more interesting to watch. But none where they could compete directly against men and win (that I know of).

      It may be about market forces, as DA says, but if the market is sexist...

              So they're on equal terms, they both get zero money and zero interest?

                Isn't that the same as Dacty said about the horse doing all the work?

                Looks more like a jolly for horsey people with some reason to play on their horses over the 5 days to me.

                  Do the girl horses and boy horses compete equally?

                    Name any sport or event where women are better or equal to men.
                    I think you missed the 'but' in LM's comment. For most sports where men are better (if 'better' is defined as bigger, stronger, faster, further etc), there isn't significant interest (from men) in the women's game.

                      That's cricket. Eventing is a tough sport as well as being about the most dangerous
