from 9am talking about my confronting past six months since the shock being diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer. I’m one of the lucky ones. Get the check, please.
In a league of his own and even better bloke. I, like so many others, have looked up to him, been in awe of him and been lucky enough to be supported and encouraged by him. There’s only one Bruce.
Legendary sports commentator Bruce McAvaney will cover the race that stops the nation for the final time on Tuesday. 'I’ll continue to have a huge interest in the race, it will just be privately and not publicly.'

The Inter Dominion trophy makes it to the grave of the man the winner Boncel Benjamin was named after. A special moment for owner Steven Duffy.

Sad news with one of the all-time great pacers Westburn Grant passing away at the age of 34 yesterday. Won $2mil in the 1990s!! Won 38/67. Freakish 3yo and went on to win an Inter Dom and 2 x Miracle Miles for Vic Frost.
Bryan Cousins, father of Ben, is a former Australian Rules star in his own right and a Group 1 winning Harness Racing trainer.

ventured to his property south of Perth for an emotional chat about how Bryan's horses helped him through the toughest of times!

Super first weekend of the Carnival Of Miracles, with ultra competitive racing and some unbelievable performances.
Can’t wait to do it all again for Ladies Night next Saturday 💕
Now to power up for the Queensland Harness Racing awards this afternoon!
Gavin was without peer through so much of his career. A champion and legend. The ultimate tribute was just about every driver who came after him “wanted to be the next Gavin Lang.” Thoughts with wife Meagan, daughters Danielle and Courtney, and family.
As a father of four girls, this quote is so inspiring & empowering from Kate Gath re getting the drive on buzz pacer Ride High:
“I want to say how remarkable this great sport is that you can be a 37-year-old female and just getting to your prime. That’s pretty awesome I think.”
A giant of racing. A voice of reason. Selfless beyond belief. A memory like no other. A pro on every level. A colleague. A friend. There was only one Deane Lester. Thanks for sharing your life and giving so much to so many others, Deano. 💔
This guy is an Aussie sporting great. It was 30 years ago I met an emerging and ambitious young driver
@ChrisAlford5000
... today he drove his 454th winner THIS season. Previous Australasian season record 388. Now that’s phenomenal.

last night! So daunting taking over from Bruce, but he absolutely nailed it and with his own style. Star.
Couldn't work out why CELEBRITY QUEEN had her head so low.
This amazing photo from

tells the story - Pike sliding up the neck to earn a dead heat. Thats some commitment!
Today we lost Rob Gaylard. Of his vast array of media work, captaining the Ch31 team was most memorable. Thanks to HRV, here’s the captain signing off with his team on Ch31’s last night. Treasured times. Enjoy.
Couldn’t think of a better last hurrah … the best race meeting of the year so far and a race named after one of the greatest horses I’ve seen.
After 25 years on
@SkyRacingAU
coverage, tonight is my farewell.
Sky ACTIVE starts at 5pm.
Shades of Bonecrusher and Our Waverley Star. They went at it every step of the 2536m.
One of the best stoushes you’ll ever see. The little Bull who could. Take a look.
One of the true trailblazers and most remarkable champions in their chosen sport - congratulations
@KerrynManning
Fittingly the first female Caduceus Club Living Legend.
And she’s won more races than any female jockey/driver in the world.

@Vinnycenzo_71
for this stunning and sentimental pic of the great Northerly, with me photo-bombing. He’s my all-time fav galloper & those were golden days for racing.
Just the greatest hour or so ... banter, laughs and some great stories with one of the all-time greatest horseman in this part of the world, Roy Purdon. A gem, in every way.
Great touch ... all Victoria Cup drivers wearing special Gavin Lang “helmets” as show of support during a tough time for the champion driver.

@apgath68
on being inducted into Harness Racing’s Hall of Fame. Remarkable family with his grandfather George, father Neville and uncle Brian also Hall of Famers.
Tiger Tara goes bang!! 💥 Leading the whole way and cruising off the back straight the Tiger gets the treble! Tiger Tara becomes the first horse to gain the Victorian Cup, Inter Dom and the Hunter Cup. Absolute champion!! The best pacer in the Southern Hemisphere! 🐯 👏 👏
Sad to share that trots giant and Inter Dominion great Shakamaker passed overnight aged 23.
"He lived well and now he's resting," owner John Wolfe said. "Nothing could get near him ... he gave a lot of pleasure to a lot of people."

Living legend Brian Gath, now 76, will drive in his 13th Inter Dominion final on Illawong Stardust Sat night. His first final drive since Safari (8th in 2008).
He trained & drove Markovina to win the 1978 pacing final. Also ran 2nd on Franco Tiger (1992) & Shakamaker (‘02)
Devastating news. So many wonderful memories of the great Ch31 days where Rob was captain and gave great guidance. Such a passionate and fantastic media man.

It was a moment that no racing fan will ever forget – Damien Oliver weaving a passage on Munhamek to win The Gold Rush in his final ever ride!
We were in Perth with Ollie and his family to capture all of the emotions that were present for his last day in the saddle!
Chariots of Fire winner Jilliby Kung Fu will take on Lazarus and co in Miracle Mile. “We all feel we may never get a horse as good as him again and a chance to run in a race like the Miracle Mile” - trainer Marg Lee

@SkyRacingAU
In The Gig.
@KerrynManning
becoming the first female to drive an NZ Cup winner.
Lots of emotions as I prepare for my last In The Gig show tomorrow.
Is it possible that Sydney 2000 was Cathy Freeman's second biggest triumph behind the '96 Stawell Gift when she started 54m behind the field and got elbowed in the final straight? If you haven't seen this, you need to.
You’ll never see a better ride
@LaneDamian
on Lys Gracieux. And she blew ‘em away. Lane caps a heck of year: Slipper, Caul Cup, Cox Plate and now Arima Kinen.

Never thought I’d get to hold a baggy green 😂
Incredible privilege to see these two legends talk all things life and cricket. So raw, open and honest. Pure class. Phenomenal.
No words … just please watch this one.
Uplifting, gut-wrenching, joyous and memorable.
A new benchmark for the

@cmaherracing
and others.
Staggering NZ industry running a gallops Race at Riccarton exact same time as their champion pacer Lazarus runs in US when they knew races times 5 days ago.
Group 1 company … literally. What a buzz running into these legends Larry Olsen and Mick Dittman. Two champion jockeys who helped shape my love for racing.
Tomorrow we drop the latest

feature racing story on champion harness driver Kate Gath. The lady has a serious need for speed, whether it’s on the track or off it running her first marathon. Can’t wait to share it.
The ultimate and fitting recognition just announced on

It’s now indisputable Leap To Fame is an all-time great of Aussie harness racing & very probably the best pacer in the world right now.
He’s everything the sport here needs & he’s got another couple of years racing to come.
Love this
