There's plenty to like about Sunday's Bairnsdale Cup, and @SamTaweets runs through who he likes the look of 🏆 @bet365_aus @Country_Racing

“Cylinder” is apparently trying to win the 2 year old Golden Slipper on Saturday. The problem is Cylinder is a 6 year old, who is retired at stud. I hope this was an AI stuff up rather than the alternative. 🤷‍♂️ Regardless, not great from the @dailytelegraph

@ChickenParma @Racing Feels like a Monday.... 😬

Hey @Racing @SamTaweets, today is Tuesday 😂

This is how next week's Golden Slipper field looks, by my reckoning. Emergencies will be Agrarian Girl, Medicinal, Outspan and By Choice. A few jockeys tbc.

Sheza Alibi update Jamie Melham confirmed as rider for Doncaster H’cap at 49kgs

A reminder that racing introduced a new rule last year forbidding owners to use silks that express religious/political or social views. Yesterday’s debacle shouldn’t come as a surprise. And it wouldn’t matter what the religion/view is. Play on.

Brae Sokolski has changed his racing colours, from the tartan green worn by horses like Incentivise and Yes Yes Yes to plain khaki with an Israeli flag on each arm. They won yesterday at Ballarat and go around today in Sydney. Surprised that Racing Australia allows flags on colours (aside from the once a year Australia Day colours).

@Racing Shortage of group one jockeys🙋‍♂️

It needs to be at least.... 3 times bigger.

We really lost some good ones this year 😥

Joe Pride announced he will give his star time to reset and recover after some wear and tear in his feet has emerged. Rest up Ceolwulf, see you in the Spring 🫡

"This is what it's all about." The Ghaiyyath x Dom Perion colt was Stonehouse Thoroughbreds' biggest result 🤝 @inglis_sales

"It changes lives." What a result at @inglis_sales 👏🏻

LeBron never did that

There’s a strong international-bred influence in tomorrow’s Wangaratta Cup, but @SamTaweets is firmly backing the homegrown talent 🌏 @bet365_aus @Country_Racing

Big news. Negative Gearing changes are back on the table following our campaign to end investor handouts. Unfair tax discounts just make housing more expensive, and give billions to super-wealthy property investors. Ending them will help everyone have a home to call their own.

@thethoroughbred @TheSharkTweet To be fair, reckon I had 10 full tosses. So yes. haha

@SamTaweets Were they bowling pies? @TheSharkTweet

@scottbrennan13 One rule in life... dont run unless something is chasing you, mate.

@SamTaweets Didn't feel like running mate haha

@Quinny_1 Massive effort! When you list a tooth on the way to the track you fell apart...

After losing a tooth on the way to the track, Trapper John makes it two wins from two starts. Trainer Clinton McDonald said the plan now is to teach him to improve his race craft before raising the bar. Ben Melham described him as “really raw and not great from the barriers.”
