Racehorse heaven


As a horse racing enthusiast I was excited to hear about an initiative, of course a Victorian* one, where retired racehorses will be housed together and the gates thrown open to the public.
Read about it here.
Melbourne Cup winners like Saintly (pictured from the Herald Sun article), Might And Power and a host of other greats all in the one paddock. It truly is horse heaven. If only I lived in Melbourne!

* In horse racing, anything innovative happens first in Victoria. It's just something we in NSW have come to accept. That's why their industry continues to thrive and we play catch up.
