Share to ClassroomHorse From King Wins Cup
A horse won a big race in Australia. The race is the Melbourne Cup. The horse is called Point of Law. King Charles had this horse before. He sold it this year. A man named Ethan Brown rode it.
The Melbourne Cup is very old. It started in 1861. Horse racing is old too. People raced horses in ancient Greece and Rome.
Many people bet money on the race. But some people worry about the horses. In the United Kingdom, 186 horses died in 2019. They died because of racing. Some people protested outside the race this year.
