Abbie Chatfield is boycotting the Melbourne Cup. She was offered a lot of money to go, but she refused. Abbie and Konrad Bień-Stephen dated for about a year before splitting up a few months ago. Konrrad was seen at the races in a pink suit and a yellow rose pinned to his lapel. Abie did put in an appearance at Australian Commercial Radio Awards in Sydney on Saturday night. On Sunday she said she wants a 'year of single life' after the race. Horse racing is a controversial topic. Many people have branded the sport 'cruel' and criticise celebrities who attend race day events.
