absurd piece suggesting we would support Racing Australia taking over the Melbourne Cup. Nothing could be further from the truth. The VRC has made the Cup Australia's best racing event by so far. Outrageous to suggest otherwise.

He kicked off his career working for T.J Smith in 1952 and today can be seen polishing the brass atop box-doors & carting barrels of horse feed on trolleys.

Oh ye of little faith 🤦🏻♀️ When PIERRO won the Breeders Plate, I declared he’d win the Golden Slipper and it’s history now. FARNAN is the best colt in Australia, and I cannot see any reason why he should be defeated this preparation 🙌🏼

Tommy Smith pictured with HM The Queen. Dad enjoyed immensely winning The Queen’s Cup in 1992.
I had to laugh, the owners asked dad, “Why are you nominating Aquidity for the race?”and he replied, “I want to win it and meet The Queen,” and dad did exactly that.

ATC members were extremely vocal in their opposition to the proposed sale of the ATC’s most valuable asset, Rosehill Racecourse. I felt embarrassed for the Board.
Gai Waterhouse and Chris Waller have unloaded during a ATC members meeting over a proposal to sell Rosehill racecourse.
Waterhouse said: "You are flogging this because you have got yourselves into debt and you should be ashamed of yourself" 👇
