Impressive performance by Sea King taking out the Bendigo Cup @_BendigoJC 🏆

@DamienRactliffe @BluesLaGoons Agree to disagree 🤝

@ChapmanLachlan @BluesLaGoons No doubt. The exercise I was getting at, if you were list manager at Tassie and could pick any players you wanted? I’d say Daicos would be top five and Sheezel wouldn’t be close

Funny when Collingwood fans kept telling us that Nick Daicos is a multi generational talent, only for the following year Harry Sheezel to be recruited. How wonderful if Harry wins a Brownlow before Nick. And Sheezel doesn't duck his head, play for frees and not scared of contest.

@DamienRactliffe @BluesLaGoons I think the Reid statement is true. That said there’s more to being a great player than X factor alone. Sheez has great class and consistency in his performance and the consistency aspect can be underrated

@ChapmanLachlan @BluesLaGoons You might be right, but I even feel Harley Reid has shown more X factor than Sheezel

@DamienRactliffe @BluesLaGoons Hard to produce wow moments when your team has been struggling for 2 years. His defensive effort to win the game against Suns was definitely a wow moment.

@ChapmanLachlan @BluesLaGoons Maybe he’d be in the 20-30 bracket, and not to say he’s not on the right trajectory, only that I don’t see as many wow moments from him versus other guys in the comp

@DamienRactliffe @BluesLaGoons LDU being in the same midfield would make coaches less inclined. Consensus AFL media wouldn’t make a statement ‘not top 30’ Fine with Daicos top 5 but feel an unnecessary pot shot at Sheezels talent here

@DamienRactliffe @BluesLaGoons I get it North is a small club without prime time games but the statement ‘doesn’t go top 30’ clearly shows you don’t watch many North games.

Mixed emotions as a North supporter. Some of the best football we’ve played in years but a heartbreaking result. Still taking the necessary steps in the right direction 💙🤍

Great debut from local runner Linkvue. Runner up in the VOBIS Gold Rush. @TLakeRacing @_BendigoJC

Back to back Australian Cups for Cascadian 💙💙 @FlemingtonVRC

Another tough day for North fans. Bright spot though surely there’s another rising star winner this year out of Wardlaw or Mckercher 💙🤍

@NMFCOfficial 6-8 weeks

Jy is on the ground and being seen to by doctors after a big hit from St Kilda's Jimmy Webster. #Kangas

Always exciting when your 2yo has its first jump out. Harry Angel colt had a good morning out @_BendigoJC @fliedners

Always a good day out at Kerang 🐎 @Country_Racing

@timbguille Had the Makybe Diva years growing up in primary school and from then on I was hooked from a young age

I’m sure we all have that one horse that really ignited/kicked off our passion for racing. For me it was the ‘Big O’, the mighty Octagonal. I just loved the way he raced in his prime. Dominant. What was yours?

Another fantastic Melbourne Cup Carnival @FlemingtonVRC Managed to attend all 4 days and already looking forward to next year 🐎

@Dave_Symons1 The Coolmore is as good a race as you’ll get but I agree a couple of races on the undercard are a touch underwhelming. Should still be a cracking day

Is it unfair to say the fields for Flemington tomorrow are poor? Been off it for a while so haven’t paid as much attention in the lead up meetings, but feel a bit disappointed with what are usually the best horses competing. Keen on the thoughts of those who know better than I?

He will be spending his retirement where he was born and raised @DownsRiverina to be a nanny for the weanlings and yearlings

Bittersweet day as Hi Stranger is being retired from racing a happy & sound horse He’s created lifelong memories, racing from 2 to 7 with many accolades along the way 4 metro wins, 2 Country Cups and a Country Horse of the year title Enjoy the retirement paddock old pal 🫶🏻🐎

@bensporle Feels like yesterday 😂🙈

@ChapmanLachlan And what a ride it was! Debuted 1623 days ago with a slashing 4th at Flemington, where has the time gone 🙈😂
