Didn't mention whips.

Yes that video came out a couple of years ago , and is just plain annoying.

Shoots itself in the foot, like the shot horse in it, by describing at the start as a honest Government Ad . That's Completely dishonest, for starts.

And then the silly girl making out she's drunk at the end, like the people she be-littles through the story. Is she aspiring to reach those levels ?

Gambling addiction (or alcohol for that matter) hardly caused by the once a year Great race. 

Horses have been part of the Australian culture since first settlers. Thoroughbreds are probably the 'Creme Of the CROP' of all horses , and are treated like GOLD in general. Stockhorses , etc get a rougher deal. 

I spose we were Lucky to avoid an ADD-on from the last Melbourne Cup and Anthony Van Dyck, the favourite in the race, getting put down after the race. Horses live and Die , just like people. and some have the chance to do something that they Love to Do .!!  run and run . The beautiful thoroughbred horse !! (treated well in general, unlike us having to watch these type of videos)

better off doing one (video) on cars, and car safety ( that does cost the country millions, with death and injury) to get people to drive better and with more concentration IMO.
