2014: Admire Rakti (Japan), Araldo (Great Britain) (frightened by spectator after race)
2015: Red Cadeaux (Great Britain)
2017: Regal Monarch (Great Britain) - died in Race 4 on Cup Day
2018: The Cliffsofmoher (Ireland)
2020: Anthony van Dyck (Ireland)
Add to the above the number of internationals that have been withdrawn by the VRC in recent years and questions have to be asked.
I would rather we have no internationals, than have one die each year.
The last Australian/NZ horse to die in a Melbourne Cup was Dulcify in 1979.
