What are your tips?

That's so sad. Perhaps pushed beyond endurance one time too many. All in the pursuit of human profit and amusement.Favourite (Admire Rakti) collapses and dies in stall after race.
Remarkable that none of the experts tipped the German horse
A very rare event. The owners of the horse will be bereft.
People don't realise how much race goers love horses. They follow their careers and love to visit the stables and promenade areas to look at them. many are involved in some capacity.
One of my friends owns ponies which she rides and enters into competitions and has a share of a racehorse which is doing quite well at present that she helps train sometimes before she goes to work (which means getting there at 4:30 in the morning). if you accused her of being a horse abuser she would just cry, it is her life as her love for horses is so deep.
The flag incident was stupid. Why was a kid waving an Australian Flag spooking the horse in the stabling area? I hate that sort of patriotism and the VRC will have to vet people from now on but I suppose it was someone in the public who had never gone to the races before.
I love horses. I love horse racing and are very saddened that things like this happen occasionally. Nothing could have been done about the heart attack but we must ensure that there is better security in the horse areas.
Very occasionally horses...and people die while doing exercise.
The industry has no accountability for the countless thousands of dogs that disappear each year; no one knows what happens to them.
