Admire Rakti dies in stalls in Melbourne Cup collapse after finishing last, Araldo euthanised after breaking leg. Caulfield Cup winner Admire Rakti collapsed and died in its stall after finishing last in the Melbourne Cup today. And in a tragic postscript to the Cup, seventh-placed Araldo was put down hours after the race following an incident on its way back to the mounting yard where it fractured its leg after kicking a fence. Admire Rakti was the heavily-backed pre-race favourite, and raced near the lead but faded in the final 400m as German runner Protectionist went on to win the Cup. Reports emerged soon after the race that the Japanese horse had collapsed in its stall, with Racing Victoria chief steward Terry Bailey confirming afterwards that it had died. ----- Am I the only one that is absolutely disgusted and deeply affected by this news today? Why are people celebrating and carrying on as if nothing has happened, laughing and business as usual. I honestly have no words for the society we live in. Stupid sport. Deaths so unnecessary. Just disgusted. RIP you beautiful animals. And on behalf of us pathetic humans, I am sorry for our greed and utter disrespect for your precious lives. Cant believe people can just ignore this? And be laughing and carrying on I won! I won! IDIOTS.
