Looking over the cards tonight I noticed the 9th at Flemington is a 150k stakes sponsored by NYRA.
Welcoming these cards since I played Cheltenham this morning. How barbaric some of these long jump races become. No less than 2 euthanized on course in the finale. Due to the camera angles you cant help but watch them attempt to get up to no avail. Gut wrenching sight.
I follow along on twitter and was on North Hill Harvey, one of the unfortunate ones that race. Looked 100% a winner before falling 3 out very badly. The many tweets of "I hope you take a bullet shortly you nag" and "I hope you are part of a Tesco burger tomorrow" are rather tasteless and not something you see on this side of the pond.
