#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.

🤣😂 love it #MelbourneCup
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

MELBOURNE CUP IN DECLINE
"... there’s also been a long-term decline in interest in animal racing in general, amid growing concerns about animal cruelty.
So, is the #MelbourneCup still stopping the nation in the way it used to? Here’s what the numbers reveal."

And on a day with a multitude of stories, this moment just after the #MelbourneCup was one of my favourites. For both these stars of racing, days like these are moments to reflect on successes — and on the hard times that had to be overcome to get there:

Today the @abcsport @abcnews live blog from Mick Doyle and I of the #MelbourneCup had a lot of engagement and strong numbers - showing that there is still a lot of life in the great race and racing more generally:

It's been a huge start to the #MelbourneCup Carnival, and now I've caught my breath I want to share some stories I've done over the last few days for @abcsport and ABC News. First up, a long-read piece on the 20th anniversary of Makybe Diva's third Melbourne Cup: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
2025 Melbourne Cup - Crowd: 84,374 @ Flemington Racecourse (Melbourne) #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.

🐎 Today is #MelbourneCup! Let’s take it back to 1965, when a spy satellite captured this view of Melbourne.

Little has changed within the track, but the surrounding area has continued to evolve.
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 💔🐴 🇦🇺
#PoorPoor #DimTim had to work today....
Fuck Him he's just a #PrivilagedWhitePerson who is paid too much for doing too little
#AusPol #MelbourneCup should be scrapped
Jamie Melham. A brilliant ride. Brave as can be. #MelbourneCup 🏇
Well done Jamie Melham. Historic #MelbourneCup victory.
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.
#sydney #MelbourneCup
Eddie MaGuire is terrible at this #MelbourneCup

Anyone who backed Half Yours today has to split their winnings with their partner - it's right there in the name #MelbourneCup
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!
