Australian racing, Australian racing media and Australian racing history owe Graham McNiece an immense debt. Shadow created careers, friendships, TV stations and, above all a spirit of kindness.

@aus_turf_club Lover of a beer, a bet and horse racing...unforgettable Mr. David Morrow.

The Australian Turf Club sends its condolences to the family and friends of David Morrow. He was also a great friend of the ATC, including through the 1990s as our on-course racecaller as part of his stellar commentating career. RIP Dave 🎙

💬 "Most of the time, you can pick it..." This was super informative 👏 Liam O'Keeffe from @FlemingtonVRC joined @m_felgate in the RSN studio to chat all things track preparation. Plenty of your questions were answered, as well. LISTEN BACK: bit.ly/4cgHDiL

@GuerinSports @m_felgate Dave O’Sullivan and Tom Brassel were WFA mates for decades. All Brassels thinking of Dave’s family.

Very sad to report one of the true legends of NZ racing in trainer Dave O’Sullivan has passed away today. Hall of Fame trainer who won a Japan Cup with Horlicks and too many other great races to list. A true gentleman and patriarch of a wonderful family.

@blume_steve @domran Reckon you’re spot on, Steve. Sobar ‘did a Circle Of Fire’. Except different outcome.

QE STAKES figures 2000m-1400m-600m (Good 4) 2m2.02 (2000m) 1m24.19 (first 1400m) 37.83 (last 600m) RANVET STAKES (Good 4) 2m4.49 (2000m) 1m31.01 (first 1400m) 33.48 (last 600m) PRIDE OF JENNI's first 1400m was over 40 lens faster than RANVET won by VIA DESTINA.

Featuring in the @RNSWStewards report was the Queen Elizabeth at Randwick.

@stormymornwins Stormy, 1600m to 600m was timed at 57.16s.

@TonyBrassel Got the split from the 1600m to the 600m please?🙏

@domran Dom - reminiscent of 1972 Fisher Plate (now Flemington’s 2500m WFA QE Stks). Noted leader Scotch And Dry ran 20L clear then held off Gunsynd, Stormy Seas). Similar scenario Black Tetra’s 1972 McKell Cup Rosehill 2400m.

@TonyBrassel Hi Tony I’m a huge fan of Jenni But I reckon the remainder of the field were at least 2s behind where they should have been at 1000m.

LSCR @royalrandwick R8 #4 Lindermann @ 10:25am on vets advice

Randwick: Meeting will proceed on a Heavy 10. Section near the 1000m is consistent with the rest of the track and is suitable to race. @aus_turf_club

Randwick: An inspection of the track has found that it is suitable for racing except for a section near the 1000m where there is water across the track due to a catchment overflow. Stewards&officials are monitoring this section with a decision to be made in 30mins. @aus_turf_club

Rosehill: LSCR R7 #4 Autumn Angel @ 3:25pm on vets advice @aus_turf_club

Bit of alright debut Cranbourne R2 winner LIGHT WISH. Grandparents IGLESIA and TYROLEAN are half-siblings!

@LibbyHopwood Know how much Leon means to you Lib. It’s a Group 1 day ❤️

Randwick: Race 6 protest, 2nd (Olentia) V 1st (Semana) alleging interference approaching the 1000m @aus_turf_club
