#ThisIsAustralia Had 100 or so guests to home tonight for festive season drinks.

Delicious local catering plus my contribution of iconic World Famous™ Peter Rowland #MelbourneCup chicken sandwiches.

Always intrigued by over eager first responders who make big fuss of turning up yet never do.

Odd.

How racing makes its deadliest moments disappear For years, the racing industry has been quietly removing falls and deaths from its replays. Now, industry insiders are speaking out.

'What happens when the race that stops the nation also stops you from seeing the horses that don’t finish?'

Now you see them, now you don’t

The lack of US horses in the Melbourne Cup has little to do with dirt vs. grass. North American horses are no longer bred or trained to go 2 miles. Period. The end. #horseracing #MelbourneCup 🏇🏻

I can never understand why this or the death of hundreds of race horses every year is ever ok. These festivals of cruelty have to stop. #nuptothecup #HorseRacingKills #MelbourneCup

WINNER BLEEDS FROM MOUTH 🩸

This freshly crowned champion horse Half Yours, winner of 2025's Melbourne Cup, was paraded while blood gushed from his mouth.

The racing industry spins this exploitation as best they can - but Aussies can decide for themselves.

Honestly! ABC interviewing over privileged and/or desperate/stupid gamblers at the #MelbourneCup, who complained about interest rates being maintained, deserve all they get IMHO. FWIW, save don’t gamble. #NupToTheCup 💔🐴 🇦🇺

that was by far and away least engaged i've ever seen sydney in the melb's cup.

not even in an active "nup to the cup" way.

just complete disinterest. peddled through the city and didn't see a single messy cunt (bit early but still). pubs largely quiet.

This incredible victory carves her name into the history books as only the second female jockey to win "The Race That Stops A Nation." A truly monumental feat that deserves to be celebrated for generations to come!
