On Pakeha TV over here tonight there's a story about the Melbourne Cup, and a group of people that beed horses, namely the Sheik and Qatar's ruler Sheik no 2..........wife bashers, send Homosexuals to jail or in some cases execute them, did I say Misogynists, racists, human rights abusers.......I'm bullshitting of course, there's no tv show about them, because the elitists here kowtow to them, swept under the carpet, the hypocrisy and sychophanting is despicable, but of course we just can't do without these good old boys,,,,,,,can we?

Chief Stipe Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Surprisingly only 12 fatalities in 20 years yet they can have 40 horses in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showed AVD breaking down on the TV1 news with a spotlight on him with his fractured leg swinging around , i thought it was just a despicable and inflammatory thing to highlight at dinner time . Kids and teenagers could well have seen it , absolutely no need , but sensationalism is what it's all about now . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 The SAFE person prattling on about it on the news now blames the whip! I say don't budge an inch otherwise enjoy a future eating sprouts, drinking green tea (no milk), no international travel and gazing at the moon praying for the climate to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomates Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 I've got up this morning and the only MC story is the jocks getting heavy fines and suspensions for whip abuse . Saying that we don't help ourselfs , just because it's a huge race doesn't mean normal rules go out the window . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to quantify and measure the whip use is a waster of time. A jockey gets a heavy fine if he miss counts by 1 or 2 hits within a certain distance! Expecting the jockey to count the hits AND the distance on the track AND steer the horse AND stay in the stirrups is prone to error. Does anyone actually think that the do gooders will stop at the whip? No they want racing banned. I agree with the Chief - don't give an inch! The woman on the radio from SAFE now going on about the poor horse and the whip causing the fracture so "we could all have a bet and forget about it the next day". What absolute BS. The owners of AvD will be absolutely devastated today. He was a fine looking animal. The financial loss would be huge. An Epsom Derby winner who had competed successfully all over the world. Rare to see a Derby winner do that nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular woman is saying that all animal based gambling should be banned! "The horse is a beautiful sentinel animal that shouldn't be subjected to this abuse." FFS! Start selling your pigeons! Happy if you give them an inch you may as well close your TAB account and sit in your backyard watching caterpillars race over your cabbages!
