Truly disturbing video taken at Coalition For Protection of Racehorses official #nuptothecup event on Melbourne Cup Day

It contains some of the most vile hatred you will see anywhere

Sitting Victorian AJP MP @georgievpurcell widely promoted and attended this event.

The number of live foals have definitely dropped, but the racing population is staying constant or increasing, meaning that a higher percentage of foals are racing and they are racing for longer - the exact opposite of what CPR claims happens in racing.

Also - its FEWER !!

[CPR Lies @CPRLies]

CPR claim "racing is declining"

Real numbers from Australian Fact Book below.

Little change in no. of races, no. of starters, no. of active horses, many were higher in 2024/2025 than 5 years ago. Active horses is actually increasing.

Not sure the Animal Justice Party really thought this one through.

Or are they finally admitting there are so many retired racehorses out there they are extremely common?

[CPR Lies @CPRLies]

Perfect gift for any social media animal activists over the next week leading into the Melbourne Cup.

Everest favourite Ka Ying Rising chances face a major setback after Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses declare "he shouldn't be racing".

Hopefully they have now also worked out how put on a horse rug on the right way around on their plastic horse.

"Animal activists" reach new levels of delusion and over-use of quotation marks

"No opportunity to select their own mate"
"Know very little about his life at stud"
"What kind of life did he lead?"

23yo horse, raced at 2, very best treatment his entire life doesn't suit #CPRLies

The Greens policy to Ban Horse Racing remains in the starting stalls.

Stewards order them to trial again to the satisfaction of the Australian public.

"If nothing else, this proves how little the racing industry understands about the animals on which they depend upon to fill their pockets" says the Coalition For The Protection of Racehorses - who put the horse rug on their plastic horse backwards.

Coalition For Protection of Racehorses caught spreading lies again.

CPR post claims to show damage from tongue tie in a racehorse. We tracked down original vet photo, who confirmed not racehorse and never wore tongue tie

Never believe anything animal activists tell you

[CPR Lies @CPRLies]

Whilst the same sad 10 protestors sat outside and mindlessly commented on every racing social media post.

In the real world
"45% of general admission ticket buyers were under age of 35, Melbourne Cup general admission a sell out"

Smashing old and tired #CPRLies out of ballpark!

[CPR Lies @CPRLies]

How It Started - How Its Going

So much for the demise of racing!

There was a real buzz at Flemington this week with crowd numbers well up and it was quite noticeable the crowd was on the younger side.

Club thinking around 90,000 people will be at the track.

[CPR Lies @CPRLies]

Yesterday fewer than 10 people protested outside Flemington, whilst 81,612 people paid money and made effort to dress up for Derby Day.

The trains were jam-packed for hours leaving the course. Meanwhile, the "Nup To The Cup" movement comfortably fits on a mini-bus.

"We are here to protest this grand disgrace, which is called the Grand Everest horse race"

Senator Faruqi making once a year appearance to earnestly explain to a concrete pole how little she knows about horse racing.

Starting with the name of the race she is protesting against.
