Wastage @HorseRacingKills

Uploaded November 2012 | Updated September 2026, 1 day ago

The racing industry would have you believe that racehorses are well look after. However there is an industry term which is not often mentioned because it is one of the most pressing issues facing the racing industry: WASTAGE.

Definition: An industry term which refers to horses being prematurely withdrawn from racing.
Reality: When horses are no longer financially viable and are mostly sent to slaughter.

This is the racing industry's biggest, darkest secret.

$Melbourne Cup Day 2021 was not fatality free Three year old filly, Mikki Mouse, is the second Melbourne Cup Day 2021 victim for us to learn of. Whilst the eyes of the world were focused on whether a horse would die at Flemington, Mikki Mouse suffered a fracture to her near hind tibia at the Morphettville track in SA and was subsequently killed. Racing.com edited the replay footage and the stewards report was delayed from being published until well into the following day. Mikki Mouse joins The Grinder, who lost his life at Randwick on Melbourne Cup Day also, whilst his people at @Chris Waller Racing celebrated their Melbourne Cup win. At least one horse is killed on Australian racetracks every 2.5 days. This is not a Melbourne Cup issue. This is a horse racing issue. Rest in Peace sweet Mikki Mouse. We are so sorry. Take the pledge to never bet on or attend a horse race 👉https://bit.ly/2ZSx9pR$
