The Overrated Thread

…or 2 lumps.

What is the name of the other one? We know Beyoncé and K Rowland. They’re like The Three Tenors. Everyone remembers Pavarotti and Jose Carreras but the other one?

I think you mean Pavarotti, Domingo and the other one…

Michelle Williams?

Yeah, I thought Carreras was ‘the other one?’

Typical Diggers, always gotta be a contrarian…

Ha. Placido Domingo. Of course. Didn’t P Keating once describe himself as the "Placido Domingo’ of Australian politics?

Why was Jose Carreras so forgettable?

Pavarotti was never ‘the other guy’.

I don’t know?

Lol.
150+ year old race that draws 100,000 people on the day, has millions watching at home, and brings the best horses, jockeys, syndicates from around the world?

I think it’s appropriately rated.
Now, the Golden Slipper…

It’s no Railway Stakes that’s for sure.

How many horses die during the Spring/Summer racing? Has the horse that broke down today been killed yet?

Horse racing is disgusting and the treatment of horses is disgusting imo.

119 died at the track or shortly after in 2018.
13,000 thoroughbred goals are born in Australia annually.
I don’t know how many actual racehorses there are.

I reckon if Melbourne put up a paint drying contest on this day every November, 100,000 people would still show up if they could a) get out of work and b) get p*ssed.

No, you don’t think that.

And how many are killed after finishing their racing days and turned into glue? Disgusting industry imo.
