@GreensNSW
Thoroughbred racing gives life to thousands of horses each year
Without the sport they are never born
You don’t care about the horse. Your job is to manipulate people’s emotions so you can extract money from them
90% of funds you raise, you keep
Frauds🖕🏼
MONDAY: got taken by ambulance to Mulgrave Private hospital with heart issues
Doctor diagnose pericarditis from Pfizer vaccine [can happen]
Person next to me was Covid positive yet I wasn't told until 30mins ago
My wife, 2yo son & 11month old daughter all exposed
#Unbelievable
Gold Trip, Alenquer and Right You Are have all pulled up lame after today’s Melbourne Cup.
After all 23 horses were initially ticked off by vets but upon cooling down vets have re-examined all runners and found those three to be lame.
Someone just said on the news that "James McDonald is the leading jockey in Australia".
Have we changed, or is it me?
20 years ago I could have named several jockeys, despite having no interest in racing.
They were ubiquitous.
Now, none.
And I've never heard of this'un?
So movies with violence, rape scenes, bullying are ok?
Let’s not mistake this for anything other than a publicity stunt.
This does nothing to help the animals being slaughtered at meramist, which is still happening even after last Thursday’s shocking report
Just arrived Melbourne
No suits in luggage 😳
If anyone is travelling from Sydney to Melbourne in the next 24hrs I can get suits dropped off to you and will put a $100 bet on any horse you want this Saturday
Thanks in advance 🥰
ARCADIA QUEEN runs +9.8 lens above benchmark standard winning the Kingston Town. This figure is clearly the highest of any 3YO in AUS this season. One of the best 3YO performances we’ve seen over the past decade

Just an idea for the SCG and I suppose other cricket venues
Make drinks and food half price when rain is delaying play. Gives crowd an incentive to go and be social
Can move prices back to normal when play commences
🏏
Looking forward to paying more POC tax helping state goverment pay for hospitals and roads only to be told by the forever offended that Racing does nothing for the community and should be banned

Can’t believe Wayne Lordan elected not to protest on Il Paradiso
Thankfully stewards can lodge a protest on behalf of punters that backed Il Paradiso each-way
Why is the Queensland border shut to Victorians that are fully vaccinated?
Qld premier says she’s vaccinated and ready to travel to Japan for the Olympics
Yet she continues to keep her borders shut to people who have had the same vaccination as her

‘The Sydney Set’
Haven’t worked at a Sydney race meeting for over five years, which means it was my first Everest on course
It was the best I’ve ever seen Randwick. Unbelievable crowd getting right into it and just having a ball. The Everest is doing wonders for racing
Well done to all 👏👏
CASTELVECCHIO in winning the Champagne Stakes with a +5.3 lengths above benchmark standard has produced the best figures of any 2YO this season

There were 4 x 1400m races at Caulfield today
G1 Memsie - MR BRIGHTSIDE 0.14 slower than DEVOTED in the following race
Being a sectional nerd it frustrates me to no end that Victoria are the only state that don’t publish last 600m times through Racing Australia
369 exposure sites identified by our contact tracers 👏👏
More than 57k tests done in 24hrs by Victorians 👏👏
Just 3 positives! 👏👏🥳🥳
Govt extends lockdown for another 7 days crippling businesses, exacerbating mental health issues and interrupting our kids education 👎🏽🙄
Would never claim to be an AFL expert
Needed to make a 3-leg multi and was super keen Knights $2.25 in NRL and a horse at $16
Went looking for a moral and landed on Bulldogs to beat West Coast at $1.02

In an amazing twist the Protest Payout rules has meant those that backed MY YANKEE GIRL now get the full win dividend intend of having to share it!
Bookies now have to pay out on MY YANKEE GIRL as if she was a winner as well as Invincible Caviar

Without doubt the most significant gear change in the Melbourne Cup rests with IL PARADISO
Cross over nose band off, blinkers on first time
Bolts in by 12lens over 3200m in fast time 3 starts back, courageous 3rd behind a star 2 back, on goes the nose band and he fails
@Racing
The gap between group-class stayers from Australia and Europe is widening by the carnival.
Hunting Horn beaten 9.3lens, 11 lens and 7.5 lens last 3 starts
Comfortably beats Mr Quickie, a G1 winner and similar formlines to one of Australia’s leading MLB Cup hopes Vow & Declare

"Protesters gathered at the entrance gates on Epsom Road said they had hoped about 60 people would turn up to campaign against racing, but had much lower numbers, which they attributed to the poor weather"
If anyone has any photos, send them through.
CROSS COUNTER produced the fastest last 200m of the day to win the Melbourne Cup.
Not bad for a 3200m runner!
Full Melbourne Cup sectional breakdown will be available next 24hrs

Are you passionate, driven and prepared to disregard the rules of cricket?
Do you want to get up close and personal with your favourite players?
If so, this position is for you
Candidates must have a white shirt and a functioning index finger
The South Australian police officer filmed stoning a wombat to death will not face charges or disciplinary action over the incident.
According to police, the constable had “an appropriate permit to hunt wombats for food”.

Spirit Of Boom had 52 starts.
His dad Sequalo had 40.
Sequalo was a top stallion and it looks like Spirit Of Boom will be too. Hopefully it means we see more top class horses stay in racing for longer rather than head to the breeding barn 👍🏽

speaking about the last few days
First ride at Flemington wins. And beats a horse who he rode last start and was taken off
Script going to plan 👍🏼
The watering of tracks after markets are out should be illegal
Outside of horse racing, anyone caught manipulating the outcome of a financial market gets prosecuted and potentially jailed
Time for us to move forward
Does anyone have a problem with a track where the fence is cast at Warrnambool? If the inside is inferior they fan and everyone gets their chance. Putting less water on the inside and then rolling the inside seems to have created a severe bias and extremely disappointing track.
Connections of the horse might not want it but secretly cricket fans & lovers of the 12th man from around the world will be praying the Caulfield Cup has a capacity field of 18 plus 4 emergencies making it possible for BENAUD to draw barrier 22

I don’t know many metro tracks that could withstand what Doomben has been through without some sort of issue. Perhaps instead of bagging today’s events we should be applauding for what has transpired around it 👏👏
Huge thrill for
@Grahame_Begg
to have his first Melbourne Cup runner in Lunar Flare
I remember watching her win a F&M BM70 at Cranbourne in the depths of Covid July 2020 and Gra saying “well above average, just needs time”
Brilliant horseman and champion bloke. Well done 👏👏

At what point does Racing Australia step in and put a “Whips To Margin” chart out so every time a jockey goes over prior to 100m a set margin (determined by how many whips) is taken off the horse?
Just got a phone call (number below) saying my identity had been stolen and unless I clear my name the government will chase me for fraud
Luckily I didn’t fall for it. Pays to watch
