If someone said that about Jim Stynes would you still say that?

poor form

The bloke makes a slightly insensitive remark about a horse after a million beers and the politically correct do-gooders find someone to pay out on for 24 hours. Get a life.

Million beers a day before pre season starts???

Million beers a day before pre season starts???

Do the senior blokes start back tomorrow?

Brainless insensitive comment. FFS.

Not the best joke either. Would have thought 1: is my dogs new Pal 2: has gone to the dogs or 3: has been canned, would have been much better

What an idiot!

You're as bad.

someone fill me on

whos Ratki and whats it have to do with Heinz

Dead horse is rhyming slang for tomato sauce. (Hence the Heinz connection.)

The news of Admire Rakti’s sad death came just minutes before further reports that another 2014 Melbourne Cup runner, Araldo, may be have to be euthanased.

The Mike Moroney-trained stayer fractured a cannon bone (leg bone) jumping a fence after shying at a spectator’s flag.

Araldo has been taken to Werribee Veterinary Hospital for emergency surgery to have plates inserted into his leg in an attempt to save it.

Horse racing is such a joke of a 'sport'. What a great idea racing horses against their will for the thrill of some braindead humans,

Still not the smartest comment!

If someone said that about Jim Stynes would you still say that?

poor form

Not about Jim, no, but about a racehorse that was just brought here to raid the Melbourne Cup, wgaf?

This has to be your best post ever.

Horse racing is a spectacle for people but it ruins the lives of horses. Anyone who then goes on to make light of the death of an animal, needs a good smack around the head.

Pretty pathetic.

Time to ban horse racing. It's a cruel sport for animals and punters alike.

Enough.

People who care about animals. They should have rights like humans do.

Poor form Bernie. Insensitive and not even funny. Why would you?

Probably the most cared for animals on the face of the earth. Who told you they are forced to race against their will?

I have raced and bred horses for 30 years and I have never seen animals given more love and care.

Talk about a brain dead human.

Never been a fan myself. A public holiday just to wear a suit and sink [censored] all day.

Probably the persona that trained it and spent long hours with it?

Regardless of human or animal it still lost its life. It will affect love ones who were close to it. The fact that it died on a day where Australia has a public holidays to gamble and watch horses suffer is quite poor.

You do realise these horses are actually bred to race???They are look after exceptionally well and are often treated like a member of the family. Very occasionally, and very sadly, these beasts do meet an unfortunate end. But the same thing happens in pony clubs and on farms every day.

lmfao

brain dead human indeed

So if they are treated like a family member its still ok for someone to tweet a seriously poor joke about that 'family member'

I don't think the person who has trained and spent long hour with it will see the funny side in Bernies tweet..

I hope Bernie's unfortunate remarks don't upset Heritier.
