Took my phenomenal Fiancée @ParisTheEvans & charismatic Cavoodle Nico around Preston’s old Trots training track to hype myself for on course hosting duties at Sunday’s Charlton Cup. Hoping to do Andrea O’Gorman & the late, great Joey Thompson proud!

As a lifelong, diehard, blood thick Collingwood fan I'm rarely confident heading into big matches - or any match for that matter. This week I couldn't help feeling positive. Backs against the wall, underrated, on the road; this is when the Mighty Pies thrive. I love my boys!!!!!

Very excited to be MC'ing Monday’s Warragul Harness Cup meeting! Crazy to think it’s been 9 years since my last Trot Cup there (with a Warragul Greys Cup in between). Expecting a big crowd with a $10K on-course draw & plenty of top racing. Get along for a Monday Funday if nearby!

After a lovely long sabbatical I'm getting back on the proverbial horse (and hoping not to fall off this time). If anyone's keen for an MC/presenter/Bon Vivant/buffoon check out this showreel prepared by my gifted partner @ParisTheEvans & hit me on the DM! youtube.com/watch?v=Okzugg…

Being born & raised in Geelong nobody (including parents) could tell me why I chose to love Collingwood but nothing has given me more joy across my life. Watching the way my Pies are playing this year is beyond words. The passion & pride this group plays with is truly awesome 🙌

Every time I saw Greg Sugars' perpetually massive smile, I smiled in return. Beyond his Herculean racing deeds, Greg was infectious, funny, combative, childlike, loyal, articulate & loving. I loved him. It makes no sense he's gone but few have left a greater impression behind 💔

I was raised in an environment where my family was proud of me no matter what, so I won’t so I’m ‘proud’ of my little girl for making another Basketball Rep team. I will, however, say I’m rapt that her hard work & dedication has paid off. Incredibly rapt. Almost beside myself ❤️
