Lea Carlyon had been unwell for many months and this day was coming but - damn it. Of course he was a great writer and great mind but he was also a kind, encouraging and down to earth man. Racing was just one of his passions. He knew what made it tick. Terribly sad day.

Recently opened account with 1 of the corporates. Have attempted to make first withdrawal. The hoops 2 jump through staggering - suspect deliberate so u give up and keep betting. Then curiously checked “self exclusion” option. More paperwork than a home loan. Disgraceful ploy IMO

So Glen Boss says Aussie’s still love the Cup but don’t know the form of the internationals and Herald Sun headline is “Bossy; We don’t love the Melbourne Cup anymore.” It’s the exact opposite of what he said. Exact opposite of his actual words.

One question Re proposed spring changes. Why ? Also, how ? Valley will surely oppose, ditto VRC who would covet champions day as the finale. The “vacant sporting space” late Nov is just as “vacant” late Oct. risking 100-plus years of history - for what ?

The upbeat response to the Flemington stable visits proves there is a strong appetite for promoting racing’s timeless basics. Hopefully a spark for a new focus from those who steer horse racing. Community engagement is THE most important thing.

I can confirm that Brett Scott has been kicked by a horse this afternoon and airlifted to the Alfred. Wife Kylie said unsure extent of injuries but that Brett was placed in induced coma. More is expected to be known in next few hours.

Wandered a lap of famous Oakbank today. Hadn’t been there for 30 years. Magnificent, historic site. Tragic if current trend continues, putting its future in jeopardy. Every bit as impressive as the Bool, probably more so.

Interesting doping chat on @Racing - my “culture” challenge to trainers. Stop seeing thresholds as a target to play under. Don’t play at all. If you artificially top up a naturally occurring substance - yet stay under limit - you’re still cheating IMO

I reckon the antilockdown protesters are utter fools. But that (idiot) bloke in the yellow t shirt did not punch that horse. It weighs 500kg and he pushed it away as it swung close to him. Yep he's a dickhead but check the footage. Not as it seems.

That’s the most important win by an Australasian bred horse probably since Black Caviar - Given the international standing of runner-up, particularly on soft. She’s no Winx but she beat an international big gun.

@DamienRactliffe Agree with James Winks. Dean’s death has hit hard, off the back of a series of falls and injuries. I can’t imagine the collective mood amongst the jockeys. I believe racing should be suspended until Saturday. Time to take a breath and a break.

Unless the methods have changed when a horse is jiggered a jockey must mimic the gesture - eg butt of whip to neck - to trigger response. So - unless there are other ways - if a horse is being hit up there’s more than one person in the know ...

I’m not sure when “dead” developed such a negative connotation. merely statement of fact. Not sure why “passed” or “died” now more acceptable. Regardless, the legendary sire, has died. Or passed, if you prefer. What isn’t in dispute is that he was a champion racehorse and sire.
