Thinking about the #MelbourneCup2023 I'm amazed that the racing industry still refuses to end the whipping of horses. It is costing them much of their audience, and it's hard to believe that anyone really wants to see it.

We see three jockeys in their coloured uniforms racing on their horses with their named saddle blankets, (described by an upper class observer to his shiela standing over by the paddock "MORE FOREIGN FRONTRUNNERS") 1. red helmet (chinese flag) red jacket, Albo, blanket: CHINA 2. yellow white green helmet (indian flag) green yellow jacket, Dutto (n), blanket: INDIA 3. blue white helmet (israeli flag) white blue jacket, Morro (n), blanket: ISRAEL
