Something strange in Australia tonight

Kilmore, tonights B track, has been abandoned due to someone supposedly hammering metal posts into the turf to intentionally injure horses and jockeys.

Will be interesting to see how this develops.

They did this very thing a few years back in Hong Kong.

Bad mojo. Some bettor was going to lose a lot of money.

Reading this morning that it was done by a radical animal rights group. I guess they have a lot of this type of stuff down there.

Read that they let all of a farmer's chickens go, which were immediately eaten by foxes. "At least your slave hens had a moment to be free! You cannot own life!"

Fun.

no we don't.

if they ever find who was responsible i bet it's disgruntled horse people.
why ever would 'animal rights' groups try to harm horses?
it's racing they don't like and what they percieve to be animal abuse, they are not going to try and hurt horses.

the racing people would hope it's something from outside racing that it responsible, but if i was a betting person it would be long odds on that it was a racing person with a grudge.

Some people are just sick.

I hope someone other than authorities find them.

Agreed, either someone thinks they got a raw deal or its a compulsive gambler that lost too much.

The incident of the guy at the Preakness card that tried to run out and punch Jorge Chavez's mount Artax when it was apparent that the chalk was going to lose the race comes to mind. People that bet like that and usually drink.....do stupid shit.

That guy was just a drunken idiot that had decided to run onto the track. It had nothing to do with betting.

"In March 2007, one of the most bizarre attempts at race fixing was uncovered when ground staff discovered an elaborate poison dart system buried in the Happy Valley course proper."


"A dozen metal tubes, each of them a foot long and filled with darts had been carefully positioned near the 1,200m starting point"

Metal tubes filled with poison darts.

I knew it was something like that.
