Melbourne Cup Day today.
Excellent if you care about public holidays.
Terrible if you care about horses.

But not a Kiwi one.
There's a big push in #VIC to ban π racing. Too many horses die racing. Really though 1 is too many.
Time to put that 'sport' out to pasture [pun intended]. Horses need to run & jump? Give them a field with space & things to jump over #MelbourneCupDay
A peek into the 70yo film archives from 1955 at #FlemingtonRacecourse
Judging by the size of the crowd, this is most likely #MelbourneCupDay - but it could also be one of the other #SpringCarnival days.π
