The race that stops a nation is over ... as are the lives of two of its athletes. Today, as the crowds cheered and the champagne flowed, Melbourne Cup favourite Admire Rakti collapsed and died in his stall from a suspected massive heart attack or internal bleeding. Later in the day, another horse Araldo was euthanised after becoming frightened and crashing through a gate, shattering a bone in his leg. Today Australia mourns the tragic loss of two amazing animals. But there will be thousands of casualties of the horse racing industry this year who will never make headlines. You can take a stand for them all by pledging to never bet while horses die at AnimalsAus.org/tY.
