Melbourne Cup: Two horses killed

[Catherine]

I am glad they were able to act quickly and make changes. They will at least prevent further accidents. Sometimes you can't foresee a danger. Who would have thought of someone waving a flag. I am sure the person with the flag never thought he was endangering the horses.

I wish they would react like that to the Chuck wagon races at the big rodeos. There are horse and sometimes rider deaths most years. Something in the race is too dangerous. There need to be changes.

Any industry that involves animals does need to constantly review its practices to be sure that things are safe for the animals.

I guess we should commend the Melbourne cup for its quick response.
