In 2016, when Gai Waterhouse announced a co-trainer partnership, it was with this polite, humble, not-yet-30 Adrian Bott. Today, he is still polite, still humble and not yet 40. @ms_peterpan chats to Bott about a decade with @GaiWaterhouse1 and his ambitions for the future. thestraight.com.au/written-in-the…

🏇 New video: G3 Kevin Heffernan Stakes (Caulfield) I work through the form for each horse, using 📊 WFA Performance Ratings 🔍 Rating context and overall profile strength to create a forecast rating for every runner and turn that into a 💰price assessment. I think the market has made a few mistakes, and I’ll show the logic behind why. If you want to see the form and ratings for every horse and understand how ratings can be used to create your own assessments, this one’s for you 👇

@Matt__Welsh_ Nice one. Tradition is important in racing but so is innovation. Probably the 4000th person to post that nugget.

Magic Millions is a powerful reminder that racing must continue to innovate. Still relatively young, it has become a genuine success story & continues to grow. Tradition will always underpin the sport, but evolution is essential if racing is to keep improving its product.

@J_Walter23 No wonder a few of the big boys in Europe don’t want to bring their horses down here for the Cup. Fly halfway around the world and then… #SydneyRules

SIR DELIUS HEARTBREAK 💔 The first big casualty of Racing Victoria’s tougher new vet rules. CT and PET scans found a potential injury risk, forcing stewards to pull the Waterhouse–Bott runner from both the Melbourne Cup and Cox Plate. An international panel confirmed the call . Sir Delius ruled out for the Spring. A tough blow for the stable and fans who have been dreaming of that first Tuesday in November. Hopefully he gets another shot at the title this time next year #Brutal #SirDelius

Nice from Cartwright on Moonlight Circus.

@subastral Your vote helped it get to number 30. Well done.

@subastral Fair point. Thankfully 10 seconds was all the cameraman could handle.

@MiniLeviathan But you still have to look at him on mute. Surely it's a channel change?

@BushKangar Still lurking now and then. Hope you’re well mate.
