FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Police have arrested the leader of an anti-jumps racing protest at Melbourne’s Sandown racecourse on Sunday after he refused to stop filming a race.
Elio Celotto, of the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses, was handcuffed and removed from the course in a police van after the running of the Crisp Steeplechase, the first of two major jumps races on the Sandown card.
Witnessed by AAP, police told Mr Celotto, who was standing on the roof of a van, he was breaching laws relating to filming without permission on private property.
Mr Celotto demanded to see a deed of title that showed the land was privately owned.
The racecourse management duly produced a document showing the property was owned by Melbourne Racing Club.
About 20 protesters staged a noisy demonstration outside the main entrance to the course, flying banners commemorating horses who have died in jumps racing incidents and carrying placards demanding an end to the sport.
Only two of the nine runners in the Crisp Steeplechase, won by Bashboy, completed the 3900m course.
Of the non-finishers, two fell and were uninjured and five others were pulled up because they were out of contention.
In the second of the day’s feature events, the Grand National Hurdle, all six runners safely completed the course with the favourite Brungle Cry taking out the 133-year-old race.
