Woman jockey, strapper with Down syndrome, 100-1 odds. Seems legit.

Misogynist? Driscrimating against people with a disability?
You make Bunniesman look like an angel.
Fake cops. Need I say more.
Uh oh, someone lost some money.
Cry more you sore loser.
Lighten up champ. Put some energy into not being such a miserable sad sack all the time.
Irony?
Anyway, Chad Schofield is looking at a decent spell on the sidelines after that ride.
Pretty dangerous ride, lucky there wasn't major carnage.
Well today sucked donkey you know what's
Red Cadeaux comfortable and stable
Popular veteran Red Cadeaux is in a stable condition following his failure to finish in today's Melbourne Cup.
Jockey Gerald Mosse was forced to pull the 10-year-old gelding up before the post when it became clear that something had gone amiss with the galloper affectionately known as 'Big Red'.
Racing Victoria confirmed that diagnostics undertaken on Red Cadeaux at the University of Melbourne Equine Centre at Werribee this afternoon showed that the horse has sustained a fracture to his medial sesamoid in his left fore fetlock.
The horse is reportedly comfortable with his leg in a splint and the fracture is stable.
Dr Chris Whitton from the University of Melbourne advised that the injury is not currently life-threatening, however the horse will not race again.
Dr Whitton stated that a plan to repair the injury is being formulated in consultation with other world-leading equine orthopaedic surgeons.
He further advised that he is not planning to undertake surgery on Tuesday night noting that the horse is comfortable and that there are several options being considered to treat his injury.
Trainer Ed Dunlop confirmed that Red Cadeaux would be retired and that the connections will be doing everything in their power to ensure that the horse makes a full recovery.
It seems likely at this stage that the three-time Melbourne Cup runner-up will be retired to live out his days in Australia at the Living Legends property in Melbourne.

Great to hear the old champ Red Cadeaux will retire here in Australia, no more a fitting horse should retire to @LivingLegendsAU
