That clown is still on the radio?

 

[davis_756]

Also screw you zabisco, loomed and virtually hit the front then nothing....

 

[Xtreme]

What the hell are you smoking you fool.

Half the field could die and it wouldn't stop the race from going ahead the next year.

replace horses with motorised beer kegs

FFS sportingbet still down. shithouse

What now? You won like $13-$14 depending on your tote.

12 bucks.

180 if only.

 

[Chism]

Watermans Bay in the next for me.

Sensational value at 18-1 and if he runs up to his WFA 3rd to Buffering he is a massive E/W chance.

Saver Quinella with Iconic who i like but under the odds.

 

[rideclutch]

Probably time to start doing the form for the Ascot quaddie

I don't know much about horse racing but if these two horses died today as a result of being forced into racing against their will, then how can this sport be justified? Somebody educate me

 

[Ron The Bear]

I'm not anti-racing, but if two runners die on the day there will be a lot of backlash.

Hopefully positive changes are made for the future of the race, but you need to get your head out of the sand.

Yes there will be a backlash, from people who know zero about racing.

 

[Mingo]

Araldo wasn't racing at the time

Yeah but that's not really relevant to the people who will say the event of the Melbourne Cup which brings a hundred thousand unpredictable people close to animals that can scare very easily isn't a good idea.

The kid needs a bloody stern lecture from parents I'd reckon. But things need to change to prevent people from getting close enough to wave a white flag in front of them.

some bloke on twitter saying it will be operated on ?

They're saying that it can be, fingers crossed here.

Because shit happens in every bloody sport?

Should we ban football when there is a horror week of serious injuries?

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Horse racing is one of the oldest sporting events/competitions/industry/pastime etc. ever. I suspect it'll take a whole lot more than a couple of deaths on MC day to stop it.

I am using the App on Iphone.

Website is terrible.

I already cleaned up on HALO EXPRESS @ $3.40 so I'm keen to get stuck in.

I like TESTAMEZZO to knock off SMOKO in the sprint.

Don't troll this board.

"Oi horse. You're racing in the Melbourne Cup ya c***. If you don't, I'll kill your entire family."
"Very well sir ... I'll race in your precious Cup ... but let me state for the record that I do so unwillingly and under duress ... and as god is my witness, I'll die before I see you walk away with the winnings *spit*"

 

[larkis]

Maybe they should remove the fences next year?

 

[The Passenger]

Hmmm I would suggest Araldo is in serious trouble.

 

[Nothing]
