From Adelaide, South Australia.
The final race in Singapore
What an honour to call the final race at Kranji after 183 years of history.

A sad day. I feel like I lost a brother today.
From our early days as apprentices. Watching your first ride at Ceduna to the success you reached as a rider and a father. RIP brother ill always love ya 🍻 😥
RIP Nooresh
Such a young life taken too soon but he leaves doing what he loved. We had alot of good laughs over the years and especially over you not passing the ball at soccer.
My thoughts are with Chaaya, their two sons and his family.
Life is short enjoy it.
Our beautiful little girl Olivia Lim Bailey was born at 3am on 3/11/22.
After a long wait she finally arrived. Gen was just brilliant and both are doing great.
We look forward to our lives together with this cutie.

With three weeks left of racing my short but much loved broadcasting job with the Singapore Turf Club is coming to an end.
I look forward to calling the final ever race run in Singapore after more than 180 years on October 5th.
Here's to the next challenge.
9 months left of racing at this magnificent track. It's amazing to think how busy it was 12 years ago when I arrived to how quiet the tracks are now.
If you haven't been to Kranji for a day at the races book now because October will come quickly.

Very sad news regarding the future of racing in a place I've called home for 11 years. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity the Turf Club gave me in starting my Broadcast career.
My future will be decided in the near future.

After 180 years of racing excellence, Singapore Turf Club will be winding up its operations as our land will be returned to the government by March 2027 for redevelopment.
Racing will continue as usual until the last race on 5 October 2024.
Big thrill to call my first Group 1 here in Singapore.
I was lucky enough to call Lim's Kosciuszko in his early starts and gave me a buzz that he was my first G1.
Thanks to all that have helped and guided me each in their own way.
Plenty of critics but even Beethoven had them...
Huge crowds building for the final Singapore Derby.
The Turf club have opened the gates for the public free of charge and great to see the locals enjoying a day at the races.

Been a big year for the team to finish 3rd with 61 wins for the 2017 season. A few quiet weeks ahead and ready to go again for 2018. Cheers to all for the support and here's to many winners to come. 🍻🍾🏆🏇

As a young teenager just starting in racing, this was a terrific dual when he beat Sunline in the 2002 Yalumba Stakes at Caulfield.
We just don't see two or three legends competing together anymore.
