As an Irishman I grew up watching these colours winning all the big races, so it was pretty cool to win a G3 in them today on Gamay. Big thanks to

Big thanks to the Lindsey Smith team. Real bucket list stuff to win my adopted hometown Cup, albeit without the usual atmosphere. Looking forward to 2021 when the fan’s can invade the Bool again and make it the best one ever

Nice to get a winner at the Bool today. Although maths was never my strong point, I reckon that’s my 100th winner in Australia. Big thanks to all trainers and owners who’ve supported me since I’ve arrived

Devastating news, I never had the pleasure of meeting Stefano but we share a best mate in
@EoinWalsh3
so I have heard many a story about him, and he was clearly an amazing person and talented rider. Condolences to his family and many friends around the world
With deep sadness, the Cherchi family have announced their beloved son Stefano passed away peacefully today.
The family are very grateful for the love, prayers & messages sent by the racing community across the world. 💔💔💔

On behalf of My family, all our staff & the connections thank you everyone for your messages & kind words. We remember Charles(Begood toya mother) as a family member who gave us the ride of a lifetime in racing. He will never be forgotten.

Gutted for all the team at Archie’s to lose survived today, he was a warrior of a racehorse and I was lucky to have some great days on him
Devastated to report that our stable stalwart, Survived, suffered a fatal injury mid race today. He was the toughest, most determined and enthusiastic racehorse and has given us so much over the years. My whole team and connections will miss him dearly. RIP old boy.

Question for Aussies. Why is it in AFL when it’s pouring rain and the players seem incapable of catching the ball they don’t just wear gloves? Is it against the rules? Or is it a macho I’m too hard for gloves thing?
