@allovertheform @soccerflog @TrevDonaldson Whinge 😂 I do whinge when I get a hay, feed ,electricity diesel bill now. But increased prize money to country cups race meetings has affected country & provincial trainers that don’t have the fire power of city stables. I love a plodder that tries they are the best.

The argument of Racing NSW dominance in prize money is not fair - please read this analysis…. Over $63 million is spread cross only a few races - many were created/shifted with the sole intent to “divide and conquer” the traditional Melbourne spring carnival and lure horses, trainers and jockeys through greed and their intent to weaken the Melbourne Carnival/s. ▪️Furthermore - NSW have 1-2 meetings each Monday, so further prize money is generated across 400-700 races that Victoria do not provide. Here is a snapshot on some of those Sydney races “during the spring” that have had prize money inflated or events created with the sole purpose of attacking the Melb carnival/s ♦️Perhaps it should have been accounted for in their Marketing/Advertising and not race prize money, as the inflated $’s for some of these races is ridiculous with their main intention on strengthening their future position, to the detriment of Melbourne. $20 million - Everest $10 million - Golden Eagle $5 million - King Charles $3 million -Russell Balding ??? $3 million - Big Dance ??? $2 million - Spring Champion ??? $2 million - Hill Stks ??? $2 million - Kosciusko ??? $2 million - Five Diamonds ??? $2 million - Invitation $2 million - Sydney stks ??? $1.5 million - Alan Brown ??? $1 million - Channel 7 stks ??? $1 million - Golden Rose $1 million - Silver Stks $1 million - Five Diamonds Prelude ??? $1 million - The Gong ??? $1 million - Premier Stks $1 million - Callandar-Presnell And they want adulation for trying to weaken the traditional Melbourne carnival !!!!

@Gucci7917 @ScatoniSureShot The oldest crop of Gen Z are approaching 30. Don’t you want them buying into horses in the next 10 years ??? Might start with a beer, a wager and a Derby outing. Getting them to the racetrack is a start. More people enjoying the sport can only be positive.

One last thing I'm going to say about this post. This is the first time in racing that an owner ever apologized for his horse's performance. First off, he has nothing to apologize for. Horses are horses. Secondly...every other owner on the planet would blame the jockey, the trainer, the starter, the dead rail, the dead outside lane, the track's speed bias, the track's closer bias, the exercise rider, the valet who didn't park his car in the usual spot, the carved sandwich he ate for lunch that was too dry, the bathroom attendant, the handicapper who jinxed the horse by picking him on top, his lucky socks (which are now unlucky)...and on and on and on. 90 percent of the time, a horse loses because he lost. That's it. It's no one's fault. No one is to blame. No one should feel sorry about anything. It's a horse race, and someone just ran faster that day. These are horses. If they were predictable all the time, we would all be rich. We are all adults here--and we know exactly what we are participating in. (Insensitive Leroy Jolley quote redacted). No one owes anyone an apology. And no one should feel necessary to apologize for their horse's performance.

I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who has supported Sandman & myself up to this point. I feel lucky every day that I have been able to experience & share his success with you all. Yesterday was not the performance we wanted or expected, so to all the fans, I would like to say that I am sorry. Regardless of what the team decides moving forward, I am beyond proud of our accomplishments together. I can promise you that Sandman & I are going to continue to share his journey with you all from start to finish. We’re just getting started, time to keep pushing. @OaklawnRacing

@Gucci7917 @ScatoniSureShot I’d give him a share in a horse any day for free. This sport needs positive media globally and he has done it well. Loved his journey with his horse.

This is why we can't have nice things...and why 99 percent of HRT sucks for putting this guy through the ringer. What exactly is @lmgriffjohnson apologizing for? Adoring his horse? Falling in love with horse racing? Using his platform to promote our sport? Believing in his horse's ability? Pro tip: find someone who loves you as much as Griffin loves Sandman. Griffin Johnson...you and Sandman owe us nothing. In fact, we OWE you something. THANK YOU for sharing your journey with Sandman, for making racing fun and accessible and mainstream; and for being open, honest, and transparent about our sport: warts and all!

@BenNashRacing @RobWaterhouse Sorry you are saying Vicky is an activist?? She is a person trying to better the general populations view on the thoroughbred industry from the ground up. 🤯

@RobWaterhouse With due respect, hardly the biggest story. It’s an activist deceiving others to believe they’ll improve the industry by covering her legal bills. Go on to GoFundMe and find a meaningful cause to support, not propping up someone else’s business by covering their costs.

Is this the biggest story in Australian racing at the moment?The Thoroughbred Report is facing a significant legal challenge that could impact transparency in our industry. It’s crucial that we support this fight for accountability. gofund.me/c401a8a18
