Racing Victoria in response to their free ticket offer
To Horse Deals,
Attatched is a email I sent to Racing Victoria in response to their free ticket offer:
To: information@racingvictoria.net.au
Subject: Thankyou
Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2007 19:21:02 +1030
I would like to thank you, and all of racing Victoria for the very nice invitation to attend a free racing day.
Where will it be held, or is it to attend any meet?
While on the subject of thank you's, I would like to thank you again for the continued spread of equine influenza.
You guys are doing such a good job of keeping it going, what with all these races going on, and only race horses getting help.
Us "nobodies" not involved in the racing industry like Heath Ryan and Shane Rose are really happy to put aside everything therve been working for just so racing can go ahead. Unfortunetly for Heath Ryan and Shane Rose, they wont be continuing the success of the Australian Olympic eventing team at Bejing in 2008- but I am sure they are very very happy to put aside their dreams of gold, not mentioning the hard work therve done in the past four years to keep them as one of the top eventing teams in the world just so that extremely important races like the Eclipse Stakes can go ahead. And anyway, their horses are still recovering from the illness that was brought into the country by racehorses, was transported by racehorses and is likely to scar their fitness abilities for life.
I am assuming that because you are offering free racing days, you are offering to pay our vet bills when Victoria gets E.I?
I am assuming you are offering to pay compensation for the money lost because people just cant get the work they relied on?
I am assuming that you will help pay for the feed bills and agistment of the two horses we have sold, but are unable to be transported because they are not racehorses?
I am assuming that you are willing to provide counselling for all the stress, depression and anxiety this has caused not only my family and my immediate friends, but all of Australias non-racing horse industry?
That is extremely generous of you, thank you.
Once again,
Thankyou for your generosity and I look forward to receiving our compensation, agistment payments and vet bill payments.
Of course racing must go ahead, after all, it is racing.
Of course it is far more important that racing goes ahead, than our gold winning olympic team competes, after all, the olympic contenders are just nobodies arent they?
I mean, who's ever heard of Andrew Hoy, Heath Ryan and Megan Jones? Their nobodies.
I guess thats like saying Phar Lap and Makybe Diva are nobodies.
Thank you again.

Absolutely BLOODY BRILLIANT, best post yet!
Your are kidding me aren't you! Do you honestly think that racing people haven't taken a hit either?? Yes we have been given benefits that should have been given to all horses owners, that's a given, but just for one second think of how many "other" trainers there are out there besides the Freedman's, Hayes, Waterhouses etc, that haven't been to a race let alone track work since August 25. Get off your ever expanding high horse!
Racehorses didn't solely sprend EI sunshine!!!
You've hit the nail on the head with that response letter...I loved it. Sums up exactly what the recreational horse people think, and are going through.( I wish you could hear my round of applause!)
Well get this i am a recreational rider and i support my RECREATIONAL riding with the wages i get as a strapper in the TB racing industry. Get off your saddle bums and smell the cheese it was the quarrantine stations fault.....IF IT WAS RABIES WOULD YOU SOLEY BLAME THE LITTLE PUPPY THAT BRINGS IT IN NO THE QUARRANTINE STATION. If you cant afford to sit back and shut up them give it up. Farmers have drought, vineyards have hail, now horses here have EI........
Stop winging. ALL OF YOU..
