Flogging a dead horse: news.com.au’s own sweepstake howler

Hot on the heels of Fairfax’s sweepstake debacle Dr Mumbo has also had it pointed out to him that News.com.au has its own fantastic 2015 Sweep Generator.

Unfortunately while they updated the front page someone forgot to do the hard yards, and instead it features the horses from the 2014 office sweep, including the favourite Admire Rakti, who sadly died of a heart attack after last year’s race.

Dr Mumbo knew there was a fierce rivalry between News Corp and Fairfax, but this seems to be taking it a little far.
