Racing NSW boss Peter V'landys has stirred the pot yet again, this time calling for the Melbourne Cup to be moved

after a backlash from animal rights groups, now Racing NSW boss Peter V'landys has lashed out at the Victoria Racing Club, calling for it to move the event to late November.Racing NSW have recently beefed up their Spring Carnival with two major races

V'landys has called for the move, which would break with 150 years of tradition and history of the race being staged on the first Tuesday in November, in a bid to overhaul the national racing schedule to better accommodate other events."The Melbourne Cup will be successful wherever you put it. "They [VRC] should look at it as a national industry. They shouldn't look at it as a Victorian racing industry. I don't think the way it is at the moment is of benefit to the Victorian racing industry let alone the national industry.
