Is the Melbourne Cup a cruel sport for horses?

It’s one of Australia’s biggest events – Betting, jockeys & horse races. But I can’t bear to see the horse being whipped to run faster with what looks like a very big & fat stick. I’ve never got close enough to really tell whether it’s just a tap or is the poor horse actually being whipped and is running out of fear and/or pain?

They run faster because of the loud noise that the whip makes, also many jockey’s use to just hit there boot with the whip to make a noise. The whip is padded and in no way hurts the horse although it never did.

It is all because of public opinion that we have these stupid rules and the RSPCA is not helping. They know the facts but instead of helping get these facts out to the public like how the whip doesn’t hurt and they are getting up on their high horse and saying stuff that isn’t true and trying to ruin our industry. They should just stay out!

And it just separates the stayers from the plodders and normal horses.

The Good-bye Door $19.95 Nicknamed the Blonde Borgia, Anna Marie Hahn was a cold-blooded serial killer who preyed on the elderly in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine district in the 1930s. When the State of Ohio strapped its first woman into the electric chair, Hahn gained a place in the annals of crime as the nation’s first female serial killer to be executed in the chair. Told here for the first time in riveting detail is Anna Marie’s gripping story, an almost unbelievable tale of multiple murders, deceit, and greed. Born in Bavaria in 1906, Anna Marie brought shame to her pious family when, as a teenager, she gave birth to an illegitimate son, Oscar. She was shipped off to America in 1929 where she initially lived with elderly relatives in Cincinnati. A year later she married Philip Hahn, a Western Union telegrapher, with whom she bought a new house and opened a delicatessen/bakery. Pressed economically by the Great Depression, the ever-resourceful Anna Marie found other ways to get the money to support her passionate pasttime–betting on horses. She tried burning down the house, then the deli, for the insurance; and she tried killing her husband, also for the insurance. Then she took to befriending the neighborhood elderly, latching on to their life savings before feeding them arsenic with deadly results. For weeks her Cincinnati trial for the greatest mass murder in the history of the country was a front-page sensation across the nation. A thousand or more curiosity seekers came daily to the courthouse to try to get just a glimpse of her. Nearly 100 witnesses gave damning testimony against her, and the jury’s guilty verdict put her on the path to the electric chair. Finally, after a year, all appeals wereexhausted, and Anna Marie, age 32, was executed on December 7, 1938, at the state penitentiary in Columbus. True crime buffs, historians, legal professionals, and other seeking an extraordinary story will find. The Good-bye Door a compelling addition to true crime literature.

Yankee Doodle Dandy: The Life and Times of Tod Sloan $1.52 In the 1890s, jockey Tod Sloan set the standard for riding race horses by crouching low on the horse’s neck. In this entertaining book, an award-winning author recounts the remarkable story of the Indiana boy who rose from obscurity to become the most famous jockey in the U.S. and Great Britain at the turn of the century. 30 illustrations. From the Publisher In the 1890s, feisty Tod Sloan (1874-1933) abandoned the centuries-old jockey tradition of riding in a straight sitting position and instead crouched low on the neck of his horse. The result was not only a string of victories for young Sloan but also a revolution in horse racing. In this entertaining book, award-winning author John Dizikes recounts the remarkable story of the Indiana boy who rose from obscurity to become the most famous jockey in the United States and Great Britain at the turn of the century. Dizikes evokes the turbulent, colorful world of horse racing and gambling in which Tod Sloan rocketed to celebrity — and from which he was just as dramatically ejected. Sloan’s innovative riding style helped to transform horse racing into the first nationally popular spectator sport, drawing in huge crowds and vast amounts of betting money. But Sloan’s career was crushingly ended by those who resented and envied him. A dandy, a big spender, a man whose company women loved, Sloan related to horses in an almost magical way, yet foundered in his dealings with people. This book is the biography of a diminutive man who lived in large style, and lives on in George M. Cohan’s musical Little Johnny Jones and Ernest Hemingway’s short story My Old Man . The book is also much more — a fascinating cultural history that illuminates the history of horse racing and betting, the democratization of sport, changing conceptions of masculinity, the hypocrisy of Victorian morality, the lionizing and demonizing of celebrities, and a variety of other inviting topics.
