Join us when Animal Liberation SA and Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses stand up for the horses forced to run at the Adelaide Cup.Last racing year, 2022/2023, five horses died on track in South Australia. However, many hundreds were injured as well, which is likely to have caused many of these horses to be moved off track and killed elsewhere out of sight from the public.
One of the horses killed off track, was 6-year-old City Beats. He panicked and acted out in fear already in the float upon arrival on the racetrack and sustained a knee injury. He was scratched from the race and subsequently killed. City Beats had been scratched from racing four times previously due to lameness.
In respect of City Beats, Cheeky Grace, Bonniesix, Good Approach, Mista Holyfield and all other racehorses who has died from racing, we will hold a silent vigil to remember them on the day of the Adelaide Cup.
We will meet near the entrance by the Morphettville tram stop at 10am. Placards will be provided. Thank you for showing the horses they haven't been forgotten.
