Don't boycott the Cup
Don't boycott the Cup as it is as Australian as the 'fair go' philosophy.But please use it as a time to reflect on all the people currently affected by EI who are hurting.I have encouraged all my friends to donate the money they would spend on the race towards their local not for profit horse group eg Riding for Disabled,poney club,Clydesdale Rescue to help these peolpe continue to care for their horses and one day (hopefully soon) to go back to providing all the joy that riding and driving a horse can give.I just watched the news, where a woman was going to spend $2000 on a hat for Melbourne Cup and all I can think of is what a waste...I wish that she would donate the money to something more worthwhile than personal vanity...Maybe it's a sign of the times.I hope not!

great words, i'm not backing anyone today. some people don't understand what is happening out here, and that most in the horse industry, are crying out for help. this was the last thing many of us needed, with the drought getting worse in places. no feed and things going down hill fast.
the cup carnival just seems to be a fashion parade, take away the horses and see what number are like with a different sort of entertainment.
