i was hoping, just maybe, the conversation had moved on from that.
2 miles is a fucking long horse race, maybe that's a conversation that can be held. Not a viewpoint i would really agree with, but at least it's a conversation.

Isn't the Grand National 5000-6000m?? The Melbourne Cup is a mere sprint in comparison....

It's not like we force sprinters to take part - it's a weight for age stayers event.
If people feel getting dressed up and pissing it on is in poor taste, then they don't have to. Leaves more booze for the rest of us.

To be fair, all they do is warm up for the first 2000m and race the last 1200.

look, you know you are preaching to the converted. And the people that are likely to hate on the Melbourne Cup, hate on the entire concept, it's just that they forget it exists for 51 weeks of the year.
Your social media will light up Monday and Tuesday from "passionate" anti horse racing people posting memes that are full of absolute shit, but will be breathlessly endorsed as "true fact".
I expect to be heckled by ferals as i enter Flemington on Saturday. Twas ever thus.
By Wednesday lunchtime it is but a memory

They were outside Trentham (3 of them) making noise and I didn't see anyone react or acknowledge them.

no one ever does. it's a fucking pointless exercise, but hey, knock yourselves out if that's your idea of fun on a Saturday.

We should organise a TSF day at the races.
Caught up with @Smudge at Trentham and it was a good ole day having a few quiets and a punt.
With the summer racing coming up, it could be a perfect opportunity.Perhaps better if we have something racing but not a priority.

Depending on location, I may be a starter.
Had another pacer qualifier yesterday and she did it easily. By contrast, Spur To Action is off to the broodmare paddock after looking disinterested on Sunday.

Sir Charles Road running tomorrow in Lexus Hotham, last chance to get into the Melbourne Cup. Last start third owners upset by jockey who missed chance to get out early and get a clear run. Will be thereabouts. Currently just under $4 a place, not a bad e/w

Any aussie-based ferners going to Oaks Day? I'll be there for the annual pilgrimage (in the carpark). Bizarre card, 1st race isn't until 1:50pm this year.
All tips welcome!!!
