"While we are very disappointed not to be able to welcome our members and racegoers to cup week, we understand the Government’s commitment to keeping our community safe," Ms Elliot said.

Just cancel the cup. nuptothecup banhorseracing. animalabuse

A shame. Where will all the garbage, vomit and morning after pills go this year.

Melbourne cup is done. I don't know anyone who gives a crap anymore. So sick of horses dying. Ban the whole pathetic excuse for a sport.

Good. The cup is cruel. Up the cup

Aw, so there won’t be any barefoot chicks with heels in their hand, feathers and hats, puking in the gutter at 4pm?

FatherBob THERE IS NO COVID, HOW LONG IS THIS HYSTERIA GOING TO BE PEDDLED AND SUPPORTED TO JUSTIFY THE WHINING.

As they usually end in a drunken schmozzle, not a bad thing really.

FatherBob Horse racing has had its day. Long ago, it was more personal & MOST owners were hands on in the care and well being of their 🐎. It’s alll about greed and grandstanding now. Ban HorseRacing AnimalCruelty animalrights

Crowds to be banned? What does that mean? Are some allowed to attend? But not large numbers?

Hey CathMurphySport you can get another wear out of your Ugg’s now. That’s value for money - goes well with your Caulfield Cup and Cox Plate trackies

Ok so now just ban unnecessary and cruel horse racing altogether ad well as any so called 'sport' which abuses animals

NUP TO THE CUP!

Ban the horses as well as 1 out of 25 horses running have been killed as a result of most MCs last few years. Horse's Lives Matter too! They don't choose to race but are forced to do so 😡

The toorak tractors won't be happy

Its a gambling festival where the winners are a few already wealthy individuals, so no poor people attending is a win for society.

This is not news. Banning is our way of life now

Regardless if cases are 0 , they decide to lockup for good.

Next, outlaw this archaic tradition of animal cruelty.

This half-way tyrannic measure has certainly triggered the left.

I just hope a true Australian streaks his way across the track and defies the ban. vrc MelbourneCup

oh no! however will ruthless thieves launder their bribe money now?

Then not a single person should have a bet, in my opinion . That’s what I wil be doing !

Watching from QLD at just how debased this Victorian homage to their Emperor has become lol. Chin up guy’s we can host the Melbourne Cup as well if you like ?...😂 ResignDanielAndrews DanMustGo DictatorDan

You mean voyeristic animal cruelty for money isn’t essential?

Very Very bad news...👎👎🤦‍♀️🙇‍♀️ ffs

Half way there!! Now ban the horses!

“Banned” hey, quite an inflammatory word!

I feel for the poor corporate people missing out 😷

Correction: due to Dan Andrews and how incompetent government and bureaucracy

Horse racing to be banned during pandemic, and indefinitely because animal cruelty and rich people can go and fuckthemselves. I got banned for asking for a dude who whacked a horse to be whacked. Go figure!

Oh no! How’s Bec Judd going to survive?

Well at least if another poor racehorse breaks his leg and dies this year (as they many have past few years) at least thousands will be spared the sight of it.

Can someone ‘gently’ break the news to Bec Judd!

Also ban horse racing

Good?

I bet the horses will appreciate that!
