HORSERACING IS NOT A SPORT
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, horse racing is not a sport.
Sport implies that all participants are willing – and do so by their own free will.
Horses do NOT have a choice in the matter.
Horse racing is a spectacle of abuse – again not a sport.
This latest “finding” by the press in Australia is just one reason we support the #nuptothecup movement.

We’ll keep you up to speed with further findings and charges but in the meantime, the press and OFFICAL Queensland Racing Integrity Commission coverage is of course vast.
Oh, and we’re wondering if sites and Facebook Groups set up to put a shiny spit polish on the horse racing industry’s tarnished image are going to be covering this story.
What’s your best bet?
We’re guessing that’s a big fat NO.
#KickUpForRacing what do YOU think?
Will this be a story you cover?
BUT other sites are pretty well forced to – including the horse racing industries’ own…
Mark Currie-trained sprinter tests positive to cocaine.
A spokesman for the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission has confirmed the result and said a steward’s inquiry into the matter will be opened next week. Should End Assembly be found guilty, its connections could be stripped of the victory and the $116,000 winner’s cheque.

#MOHM THREATENED?
We’ve been threatened by those in the horse racing industry and those who benefit from horse slaughter more times than we can count.
But we are not going away.
We are going to persist until horse slaughter no longer exists for any purpose within Australia -- and until the horse racing industry makes drastic changes.
We are going to continue our hands-on work to offer lifelong sanctuary to as many horses as possible. We generally have 20 at just one of our locations - at any given time.
We have the acreage to take on more horses as financial support allows.
