    It is a recognised horse racing event, with a rich history dating back to 1861. This traditional race is the richest and most prestigious ‘two-mile’ handicap in the world. We know it as the race that stops a nation; its popularity and ‘intriguing’ nature has caused Australians to be glued to their TV sets, and as a result, the event is marked as a public holiday for residents of Melbourne. But, Melbourne Cup is not as glorious as it seems despite being culturally significant in Australia. For a race that only lasts for a few minutes, the horses undergo months of excruciating training: they are forced to run 800 meters in between 46 and 50 seconds.

    It has been over a month since American Pharaoh captured the imagination of horse racing fans in American by winning the Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes) of horse racing. By any stretch of the imagination, it is impossible to measure the positive impact his success has had on a racing industry that was dying a slow death. The only thing that is certain is things feel a bit different and there is hope in the air. Desperately Seeking a Hero After the 1970s saw three horses win the Triple Crown (Secretariat - 1973, Seattle Slew - 1977, Affirmed - 1978), the industry was booming and every major horse racing event was filled with equine heroes like Kelso, Spectacular Bid, John Henry, Alydar as well as the aforementioned champions.

    The celebration of Canada 150 can easily go both ways. Personally I do not have a strong opinion either way. I do find, however, that I struggle to support the celebration. I think that it is simply a reminder to the Aanishinaabek nation of the colonization, genocide, assimilation, loss of language and culture, and broken promises, to name a few. Although Canada is celebrating 150 years, the Aanishinaabe people have been here for over 130,000 years.
