Am I the only one that thinks
@ScottMorrisonMP
is doing a great job?
I have respect for anyone that does a job that I wouldn’t want to do and his job would be at the bottom of the list at the moment.

The achievement of the day has to be that master horseman Greg Bennett completed the treble where he broke in the 2yo Magic Millions winner, Blue Diamond winner & Golden Slipper winner in 2021

Something that may have gone unnoticed yesterday was Greg Bennett broke in 1st & 2nd in the 2yo MM, Shaquero & Alpine Edge. He also worked as a breaker / pre trainer with Eleven Eleven. Just proves what a great horseman he is and how crucial a good education can be.

I’m incredibly proud of what
@RachelK11
has achieved. There is no comparison to a Melbourne Cup and knowing your partner is about to experience some of the highest emotions that you can have in the saddle is pretty special.
From the Cups King Bart, another King, jockey Rachel, hoping to win Melbourne Cup with her first ride in the great race. First job in Oz was working for Bart. In 2016, she was in Flemington grandstands to watch her partner Blake Spriggs ride in Cup

After 2 years of pain & 5 injections I met with my surgeon (
@dr_tim_musgrove

This is Sir John Hawkwood. Hasn’t raced since the 2016 Melbourne cup and his happily retired. He still looks $1m and this is what happened when I tried to walk away from him after a weekly visit.

Do you not realise that when Facebook shows you ads from products you’ve previously viewed online or when google gives you an approx time to drive somewhere you’ve been before it’s because the apps track your behaviour?

Melbourne Cup day is always a special day to me as it brings back great memories of 2016. There is nothing like the buzz you get when stepping onto the track. I’m hoping I’ll get another chance one day but today I’ll be at R’wick where I have 4 rides. Navy Cross looks the pick.

Had a first in my career today where I wasn’t able to get a run on the outside fence.
Seems like most tracks are tired at the moment which forces us to the outside which makes it frustrating.
Looking forward to getting to Newcastle tomorrow as it’s one of the best tracks in Oz

Can’t help but laugh at the media saying how terrible the pay gap is between the Socceroos & the Matilda’s
Men’s WC generates about $6bn for fifa which sees the men receive about 7%
Women’s generate about $150m & they receive about 20%
The only gap is men getting less %

It wasn’t our day but I thought Hightail ran a great race and had me a little excited at the top of the straight.
I’m now looking forward to a decent meal and then I’ll be ready for next week where I have a couple of rides for the Gollan team.

It’s always great to ride a winner in the Waratah colours but it was a little more special today as it was my first winner for new head trainer, Steve O’Halloran who is doing a great job.
That’s 2 winners in 3 days & I’m starting to get things rolling again!

I had an interesting talk with a QLD police officer who was investigating a recent break in (not our house) & I asked him what he thought the biggest issue was.
His response was that it was simple, we’re putting these kids in front of a judge & they’re released immediately…
