You hear all the time about what we can do to attract more people to go to the races and get involved in the industry, here’s an idea for all race clubs, stop charging people $5 for a bloody bottle of water and it may be more affordable for people to go 🙈
Matt Hill’s calls have been pure class all carnival. Thoroughly enjoy listening to him. Greg Miles left massive shoes to fill and Matt is doing a superb job

Bloody super effort by Kevin Wynne

Feeling very proud of our little team tonight. With 20 horses in work, we saddled 3 horses at Caulfield today for 2 x close 2nd’s(😭) & an excellent 8th beaten 1.75L. So grateful to our owners, our wonderful staff and also my parents for babysitting

We retired I’m Telling Ya as a 7yo off the back of a stakes placing. We could have sold him online for good money, but chose to retire him because he’d been so good to us & we wanted him to be sound. Reminder: Just because you CAN sell a tried horse online doesn’t mean you should
Just another crazy racehorse being mistreated 😝 I’m Telling Ya has a sleep in the same spot, at the same time every single day. You can set a clock to him. Love you to bits Malcolm 😍

Pretty disappointed when 2% of prizemoney is taken for the Equine Welfare fund, yet not one person from RV has even rung me to see how Heroic Fighter is after he was involved in a fall with a Clerk of the Course at Pakenham last Sunday

Live footage of what I’ve done to myself to stop me from getting on Twitter and typing what I really think re what our CEO had to say this afternoon. Wowee 🤮🤮🤮
Saddened to hear the champ Alinghi has died. Had the pleasure of working with her during my time at Freedmans. Pic from left: Mummify, Alinghi, Makybe Diva & Special Harmony

Feeling very blessed to have welcomed our darling daughter into the world on Thursday. Georgia May, you are an absolute doll. Lovely to be home, just in time for Tuesday morning gallops 😜
There is literally nothing stopping the industry from saying ‘right, trackwork hours are now 6am-11am’ instead of 4am-9am. Absolutely nothing. So change it. It is that simple and could be changed tomorrow.
Pretty offended that this legend thinks I’m 40-50 years old but it’s refreshing to get a text message with their phone number rather than an anonymous email 😂😂
Say what you want re Vic vs. NSW, tradition vs. new ideas, ‘proper’ race goers vs the crowd pictured here. For me, this looks like bloody good fun and makes me wish I was there!
Hi
@RSPCA
and
@ACurrentAffair9
Please can you help us get help for these horses in Victoria. Countless complaints have been made and despite everyone’s best efforts, adequate action is not being taken.
What about this nonsense at Kyneton today. The only food option on course was this overpriced crap. $16 for a poxy burger! Gee, I wonder why people won’t go to the races anymore? 🙄🤦🏼♀️

on Saturday and having a cool story to tell the Grandkids one day✌🏻
I didn’t know Mel Tyndall, but she must have been an incredible person for Mother Nature to put on a sunrise like this for her. Rest In Peace Mel. My love to her family and friends. Very sad couple of days 😞
Hilarious everyone is saying this fella is a genius for these tactics. Barend Vorster did the same thing a month ago on Sunlight. It didn’t pay off and people were calling him an idiot. Good on both jockeys for using initiative. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn’t.
Slow roasted lamb shoulder with duck fat potatoes. Peas on the side because I felt obliged to do something green. Dipper of pan juice gravy on top. Bloody sensational 🙌🏻😍
Surely this is

I may have a whole racecourse to get past you, but could you get out of my way please 🤣🤦🏼♀️
Please can I sign up Amelia in the yellow who’s saddle went and she still had the audacity to push it out in the final stages with the saddle around the belly!!! Unbelievable!!

I watch the news most nights, but chose not to turn the tv on tonight as I can’t bare to see the grief & devastation in Texas. So grateful to be Australian and so thankful for what John Howard did for our country. My heart is broken for these beautiful kids and their families 😞
In a week where seemingly every second person in the racing industry tried to justify how hard they work and why they deserve more money than the next person, here’s a little bit of perspective for everyone. Enjoy your weekend ✌🏻
So excited! My favourite mare of all time, Marchelle Belle came up for sale on

I have 14 registered owners in a lease horse, two have relinquished their shares. I now have to have 14 owners sign out and 12 sign back into a new lease. This amount of admin is frustrating & unnecessary & needs to change ASAP 🤯

Pride of Jenni. What a ride by Declan Bates. What a training performance. Thrilled for the Ottobre family who can enjoy racing through the tragic loss of their beautiful daughter. Such generous people, I’ll never forget their generosity for Dean Holland’s family 💜💙

I’ve decided that out of all the Olympic athletes, I’d like to have a body like the beach volleyball players. I have no interest in actually eating well, giving up wine or exercising. BUT. I would like a rig like these girls 🤣👌🏻😍 Please and thankyou 🙌🏻🥂
I think the jockeys that rode today are incredibly brave, but you could see and hear the heartbreak and despair in every post race interview. We shouldn’t be racing in my opinion. It is all too raw.
Respect for riders Jye McNeil, Dan Stackhouse, Ben Allen, Liam Riordan, Lachie King missing Ballarat today to take extra time to grieve the loss of their mate Dean Holland.
Classic TB 😂 ‘I don’t know why there are so many scratchings today. It’s not that much further up the road from Kilmore’…. It’s 250km further on old mate and they’re racing on a soft 6 😂🤭
Taking absolutely nothing away from the brilliant training performance of Joseph O’Brien winning the Melbourne Cup; I just can’t help but feel that an honour such as the Fred Hoysted award ought be kept in Australia 🤷🏼♀️
What kind of a sook cries when Wells wins The Crisp 🤣🙋🏼♀️ Love this horse, absolute champion! Well done to Kath, Craig and
