    Admire Rakti died, Araldo was seriously injured and Geoffrey Edelsten proposed to his new girlfriend on camera. Worst trifecta ever, I'm never watching the Melbourne Cup again.

    The RSPCA said this: The RSPCA released a statement on Tuesday afternoon saying the tragic events were a "stark reminder" of the damage the sport can have on horses. "Sadly, injury and death are the price some horses pay for our entertainment in a sport that puts intense pressure on animals to perform to the limits of their endurance," the statement read. "Events like these are a stark reminder to the community of the real risks to horses associated with racing. "This is a tragic outcome for both horses and we expect there to be a full and transparent investigation undertaken into both incidents." The Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses followed suit, saying the racing industry needs to look at banning the use of whips. "We believe that these horses are being pushed way beyond their physical limits we believe the whip is the cause of this," the statement read. "It's an instrument to instil fear and pain into the horse so the horse runs faster, when it's getting tired and it's simply unacceptable. "It's been banned in Norway and there's no reason why it can't be phased out here in Australia." I think (Having said that, I do also like the jockey who said he slowed Admire Rakti down as soon as he noticed she wasn't ok, because the horse comes first.)

    I was a "strapper" in my younger days and a Jillaroo. I know what the racing industry is like. Only 2wks ago the 26yo jockey who rides my brothers horse was killed trying a few babies (yearlings) at no barrier standing starts when her mount broke both front legs at the post and her rider was crushed beneath her. Both horse and rider dead. Let's not confuse an appreciation for irony with a disrespect for life or open support for animal cruelty. I might add not all jockeys use the whip, and sometimes it is not applied to the horse but the saddle to create noise to urge a horse on. Yes the racing industry is at times....careless for lack of another word BUT any decent trainer or owners out there do put their investment (the horse) first. I know my family always do. No one ever wants to see an animal destroyed under those circumstances.

    @ On_Safari, big hug. @freya, & meander and the rest of the ignorant...including the rspca Every sport that requies an increased heart rate is going to be subject to fatalities. Every year we hear of players having heart attacks playing footy.(rugby, afl, soccer). Most years there is a fatality in the city to surf. Normaly just near the finish line. The whip? hasn't been used for years. The padded thing they use these days woudn't hurt a fly. Like Safari said they make a bit of noise. There would have been just as many tears( or more) shed in those stables this afternoon as there would have been if it was one of there family had past away. I paused at the Memorial to Fallen Jockeys on my way into Randwick this afternoon and thought of CM P, K R and N B. All died doing what they loved. They have all riden horses i had an interest in. The Thourobred horses are bred to race, like a sheep dog is bred to herd sheep. It is in there instinct, it is what they want to do. It is allways distressing when there is a fatality in our industry, it is inherantly a dangerous industry, and all participents in the industry are aware of the dangers. But we do it every day, every week all year, because we love it, its our lives . And if you dont want to watch the melbourne cup again, Don't. As for Jef Eddlstone.....who cares

    I read a story that included the same quotes as you Meander. another part of that ABC article included... . That, "It is the second straight year a horse has died following the Melbourne Cup after Verema broke down in the back straight in 2013." . And while looking over the ABC news again just now... . "And in a tragic postscript to the Cup,seventh-placed Araldo was put down hours after the race followingan incident on its way back to the mounting yard where it fractured its leg after kicking a fence." . The latter part of that article includes a quote by CPR campaign director Alio Celotto. "How common is what we saw today? Well, we do know that 125 horses have been killed in the last 12 months, and that's roughly one horse killed every three days. . RIP.

    it's normal for an ambulance to follow you around.Our farm was one of the first to get a farm bike. My old man hated horses after his farm hack collapsed and died, it fell so quickly that he got his leg pinned under it. Her was stuck there until his parents came looking for him.

    It is very sad news that the 2 horses died. However, I would point out the logical non sequitur between liking their deaths to the use of the whip. Admire Rakti was struggling at the 400m mark and his jockey eased the horse down. As such the whip was not applied at all. Araldo was injured after the race whien it was spooked by the crowd and kicked a railing. Again, the use of the whip during the race had no causal connection with the death. On the further examples given, Vereema broke down before they reached the straight so again, the whip was never applied, and the accident in Rockhampton occurred in the barriers before the horses even jumped. These are all tragedies but we must be careful of people trying to hi-jack these events to push their own agendas which are causally unrelated to the events. The banning of whips would have made no difference whatsoever to any of the accidents cited.

    I think it's quite easy to write racing off as cruel and inhumane; and while I don't have any interests in the horse racing community; I just wonder how many horses die due to ignorant owners.... Feeding them the wrong feed in order to save a dollar. Neglect and other forms of abuse that can be as simple as simply backyard diagnosing a problem wrongly or not calling the vet at all. At least the racing fraternity have vets on track that are there to oversee the condition of the horses as quickly as is practicable. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I don't think you can understand this issue. I agree that 2 year old races should be phased out but whips are used as encouragement. If a horse fears you he won't work as well as can for you. Another things with whips, the stewards will question a jockey if he doesn't seem to be using his whip enough so a good jockey will make it look like he's using it without actually touching the horse if he feels that the horse is giving him everything. Final thought, if they ban horse racing, not only will tens of thousands of Australians not have a job but tens of thousands of horses will be put down as there will be too many for the community to support.

In what circumstances those horses died, it's true we don't know, and yes horses get vet treatment before and after races. And in this case someone has taken the chance to push the 'whip' agenda... which has completely taking the topic off the reality that 2 horses died yesterday in their performance of entertaining us for the benefit of 'the race that stops a nation... and apparently it's not too good for horses either.

    "In Korea, female pubic hair is so important that women are reportedly getting implants. Just as American women often complain about Brazilian waxes, Refinery29’s Joyce Kong reports Korean women who suffer from less-than-bushy nether gardens (technically called “pubic atrichosis“) take serious steps to up their pube game. It’s considered a sign of fertility and sexual desirability. The nonprofit International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery describes pubic hair loss as “more common in East Asian women than in women of other ancestry.” It recommends pubic transplants as a self-esteem booster. A pubic hair transplant costs around $2,000. A narrow piece of scalp with hair “bulbs” attached gets transplanted into the pubic area during a procedure that ranges from two to four hours per session. A surgeon divides the follicles evenly throughout the region. Revelations like this make us rethink the importance of popular beauty standards. As piles of women’s magazine’s shriek headlines about “baring all” and “baby soft” pubic regions, women across the world pay thousands of dollars to grow more hair." In other news: Brazilian waxes have made crab lice an endangered species.

    I've only ever seen trainers feed their animals well....so well in fact they live on vegemite and toast and cups of shit International Roast coffee. That goes for Thoroughbred racing and Trotters/Pacers my parents having owned the Australian Pacing Champ back in the 80's. A horse can't perform on shit feed any more than a human athlete. And trust me....most of your country trainers only have 2/3 good shirts and pants to wear race day because it all goes to the care of the stable. I've also particupated in the "dogging" of horses bought at sales because of neglectful owners, old age...etc. (shoulders slumped) it's just the way of things sometimes. And yes Swagger there would have been many tears in those stables, and most for the loss of the horse.

    I used to have a bet on the Melbourne Cup every year, and occasionally attended race days, but I'm done with supporting that industry in any way. I really had no idea of the cruelty involved and I'm not just talking about whips, it goes so much further than that, and I don't just get my information from the RSPCA. For one thing let's talk about the huge numbers of horses that are destroyed and end up as pet food, due to over-breeding to try and produce that Melbourne Cup winner. And the feed they get may be expensive, but that doesn't mean it's appropriate and doesn't cause problems. We humans have become masters at using and abusing other beings for our own selfish purposes. Given the ridiculous amounts of money involved in the racing industry it could put some of that towards improving some of their practices to benefit the welfare of the animals that actually make them that money, but as usual nothing happens unless they get negative publicity in the media. And yes jockeys die, but I'm sure they go into that job fully aware of the risks involved, nobody is forcing them to do it unlike the horses who have no choice. Swagger - perhaps you should check yourself before you call other people ignorant.

    Funlover and Indy, I'm always happy to listen to those who actually know what they're talking about and have no agenda to push (or call others ignorant for disagreeing). Personally, I agree that a lot of racehorses are treated like kings, and their owners and jockeys love them like their children. I also believe that that doesn't make everything ok. I don't think parents would push their kids to do things that are unsafe or potentially bad for their health, even if the kids wanted it. Yet this is exactly what happens in the racing industry in my opinion. Sure, I believe horses like to run, but like children they can't judge the consequences. The industry can. However as others have said, the insane amount of money involved is sure to cloud a lot of people's sense of what's morally right and wrong. Just my opinion.

    Referring to the horse as being an investment, mentioning thoroughbreds being bred for racing (& using the instinctive drive of a sheep dog as an example) - kinda inadvertently supports the deliberate exploitation argument. Whilst some maintain that it's the equivalent to accelerating natures own 'natural selection', somewhere along the way selectively breeding for specific desirable traits based on human preferences and/or influences (including but not limited to utilising instinctive drives) as a means of deliberate exploitation for our benefit took precedence over the being for the benefit of the animal. The human superiority complex comes to mind in that just because we can and do - doesn't necessarily make it right.

    ... by those in support of the racing industry, the 'human superiority complex' comes to my mind with regards to the deliberate exploitation of any animal. A can of worms indeed Mr Smilingwithfun. Funny you should say that Ladyshai. I've often wondered what it would be like to sit at the same table as Henry Burgh, Wayne Purcell, Ingrid Newkirk & James Winograd. I'd be surprised if Wayne could in all consciousness even look Henry in the eye and I imagine that any conversation between Ingrid and James would be heated at the very least. Mr. Mischeviouslad, whilst I feel for the friends & families for their loss, I don't see it as a tragedy as such. I mean, they've gone into it fully aware of the potential consequences and have gone out doing something they loved to do.

    "Me......ander my shadow" lol One thing I learned from family interests and connections in the race horsing industry.... If a horse doesn't love to run.... more than run.... race...... it simply won't.And if it won't race as a result of lack of desire to race, ... it definitely won't make it to the top level. Whether we like to accept it or not, thoroughbred racing horses are born and bred for one purpose (two, if they're successful..... because then, they get to make more horses for more races). Some of us have dogs.And some of those dogs are the result of generations of selective trait separation and breeding to deliver the dog you pat and love today... with its particular shaped legs, specifically proportioned snout, its tail, its size, coat, colour, and temperament. And occasionally...... those dogs die prematurely as a result of how they're bred, how they're raised, how they're trained, how they're owned... or..... just through misadventure Same same. Criticise horse racing....... sure..... but look at your dog and wonder if you're not a link in a long chain of hypocrisy. We breed all manner of animals for our use, for our enjoyment, for our nutrition... and for no other reason than to look at them behind glass cell walls. At least horses are free to do what they love, with other horses...... and are bloody well looked after to enable them to do just that.

    I could discuss the pros and cons of selective breeding [across the board (dogs being second to none in terms of exemplifying in the extreme of just how wrong we're capable of going with it - just my opinion of course)] til the cows come home - but that's another story. I accept that the horse racing industry provides significant advancement towards veterinary science, both directly & indirectly through funding and incentives. As a result, not only can previously hopeless 'incidents' now be treated, but more importantly, there is the means and availability for earlier detection in place, reducing the potential for injury & enables 'at risk' horses t be kept off track.

    I think Im being baited into responding again....... Meander..... This is an open forum where people are "free" to discuss points, make counter points and offer views on thoughts and opinions. I say "free" because it seems there are those in here who want everything their own way, and when they issue a challenge to someone publicly via a comment, they complain when that challenge is met. So... if its all getting too much for you....... you dont have to log in to complain.... do you? As I said to someone else recently...... if you dont like what I write, dont comment to or about me and I wont have any reason to respond. You know..... you used to be rather friendly.It'd be nice to think that's still the case. DG

    I get the day off as the CBD is closed. I can't access my office until Monday as the building is next to a hotel which is in a declared zone. There were police in pairs every 50 metres throughout the CBD yesterday. More police than punters, as many offices closed down/worked offsite. Hopefully it will remain quiet, and I can enjoy my day at home.

    To the person who went from saying you love me to calling me nasty and shallow overnight: I really cannot help you and am not the right person to ask. Not only am I not equipped to give you what you need, we don't know each other. I ended up giving you the number for Lifeline because I think they can help you much better than I can, not because I was trying to be cruel or dismissive. You rewrote your profile, referring to me in it several times. I'm asking you to please stop caring about me and start caring about you. Maybe that sounds patronizing, it's not intended that way. I hope you find the right person to help you help yourself, and I wish you nothing but the best.

    mistakes are only stupid mistakes when we keep repeating them ! Why must I feel like this today? I'm a soldier, but afraid sometimes To face the things that may Block the sun from shining rays And fill my life with shades of grey Still I long to find a way So today I pray for grace I take a moment to myself So I can hear myself To feel myself And be real myself Life's addictions and afflictions 'Cause abrasions from their friction Sometimes it's easier to live in fiction I can run, but I can't hide From the pains that reside down deep inside There is no pill that can be swallowed There is no guru that can be followed There's no escapin' from my own history Those that I hurt and those that hurt me I was dead for a million years 'fore I was born and I'll be dead for a million more after I'm gone So I live to give somethin' that can live on Like the way you hum a song when the music's gone Like the warmth of the sand when the sun goes down And I'm sittin' with myself, nobody else is around, but Why must I feel like this today? I'm a soldier, but afraid sometimes To face the things that may Block the sun from shining rays And fill my life with shades of grey And still I long to find a way So today, I pray for grace It's been a long, long time Since I been away Been a long, long time Since I felt this way Been a long, long time I found the words to say How much I'm grateful For my life today 'Cause under every cup you might find a nut Behind every corner you might get jacked up At the end of every rainbow you might find gold The last bite of your sandwich, hope you don't find mold 'Cause none of us can live the perfect life The kind that we see on 'Nick at Nite' And sometimes we all just lose sight Of the pain that will guide us From dark into the light We fall down yes, but we get up And sometimes we just need a little bit of love To help to make it through another day Into the night, into the light, into a Saturday So in the morning when I'm waiting for the sun to raise And my head's a little foggy like I'm in a haze I remind myself that everything is gonna be okay I take a breath, slow down and say... Why must I feel like this today? I'm a soldier, but afraid sometimes To face the things that may Block the sun from shinin' rays And fill my life with shades of grey And still I long to find a way So today I pray for grace - Posted from rhpmobile

    Anyone who loves kids (or stuffed animals), Google Teddy Clinic Germany. From the article: 'Teddy Clinic' Treats Stuffed Animals to Ease Kids' Fear of Hospitals' Some German medical students have gone soft to help kids conquer their fear of doctors.The students in Giessen, Germany, hosted a “Teddy Clinic” this week, dolling out free care to stuffed animals suffering from a range of imaginary illnesses. The clinic aimed to ease anxiety among children, an estimated 90 percent of whom have fears about hospitals and doctors, according to a 2009 study. It also gave med students the chance to work with kids and save the day by bringing their plush pals back from the brink. The doctors-in-training used a mix of real and fake medical instruments to diagnose and treat teddy bears, stuffed cats and other cuddly critters. Amazing!

    I don't usually get involved with the politics in the forums at all....But..... The problem being is that it is a public forum and things aren't always as they seem, people aren't as they portray themselves in here. Now depending on who you are speaking too or are friends with, has a lot to do with who's side of the story you are getting.... So unless you know both sides, then how can someone make an informed decision as to whom is correct, right or wrong. Yes we are all entitled to our opinions and they will differ, but if you haven't in fact got all the information how can one possibly past judgement??? Now just to sent the record straight, I have no idea whatsoever as to whom the comments or posts are about, this is simply my observations and my opinion. I've actually had my own little problem with the same sort of thing, where people haven't known the whole truth, lies have been told, things have been said and judgements have been made.....

    ... is more about the behaviour than it is about the people concerned, and by the people concerned I mean poster/s. Common blood sport behaviour (or pack mentality for want of a better description) and hypocrisy seems to be the norm in here (with little to no concern for whom it's directed at) by more than a select few. It's seen at it's best when a poster brings up private messages (often under the guise of education re: do's and don'ts of messaging etc.) and/or a poster takes a snippet of another posters comments to use them not only to shift the focus out of the original context in which was said in an effort to promote their own view, but in an attempt to belittle the other poster in doing so. Some people (which just happens to be the same people time and time again) only appear to have a problem with it (the behaviour) either if it is directed towards them or if they have been pulled up on their behaviour ... which makes me wonder if they even recognise the behaviour in themselves.

    Quoting 'MissBlissBomb' And loving it, there's never a good reason to bring private communications into the forum, it's not about any side of a story, shaming someone then saying it's because you're 'concerned' is just rubbish IMO. (...)I think I have a right of reply when the insinuation that I have said something because I've been drinking is made... I honestly don't think I shamed the person I wrote my open letter to, so we'll have to disagree. As for my drinking comment: I was referring to an "after work drinks" comment you made the day before. Yes, I was totally being facetious, but did not mean to cause the offence I did. I'm sorry.

    Just read this on a page (Huffpost) about word origins (did not know this): The word LADY means "bread-maker." Lady is a derivative of the Old English word hlæfdige, which is itself a compound of hlaf, meaning "bread" or "dough", and dæge, an Old English word for a housemaid or servant. It probably originally referred to the female head of a household, whose task it would once have been to prepare the day's bread. Mea, bringer of useless facts.
