Why don't they shoot the horses?

Have I ever mentions how much I hate this bullshit obsession people seem to have with the bloody Melbourne Cup. What a major waste of time, energy and money. Peter Beattie wouldnt' have to end universal hospital cover if we just used the money that is going to be pissed up against the wall today instead. Then again, he's probably just use it to build another football stadium...

You know what would make the race more interesting? On the final straight, if the horse had to make it past a nest o Turkish machine gunners to reach the finish line. Just think about it - not only would it make the whole joke more interesting - what with the major upswing of violence, but it would make it suitably nostalgic. Pseudo-Charge of the Light Brigade....
