Animal Justice Party MP Andy Meddick has sensationally claimed horse racing won’t exist in Australia in the coming years.

He said young Australians were “deserting” the sport in droves, despite thousands attending Caulfield Guineas day on Saturday and tickets to the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley later this month already being sold-out.

“I fully expect that horse racing will go the way of the Dodo in years to come,” Mr Meddick said on 3AW Drive.
