"I don’t think I’ve seen 50kg on the scales for a while."

Apprentice jockey Dakotah Keane is at her lightest weight in years as she prepares to capitalise on some key rides at Caulfield on Saturday. @gilbertgardiner @keane_dakotah

These words from President Catherine Connolly deserve a place in Irish 🇮🇪 history:

‘🇮🇪 will never accept normalisation of genocide’
‘History of colonisation & manmade famine’
‘A lived understanding’
‘Of dispossession, hunger & war’
‘Gives 🇮🇪 a mandate to lead’

Immense

🇮🇪 🤝 🇵🇸

@AndrewNJHawkins Irish racing royalty. His grand father on his Mums side was one of the greatest ever Irish trainers Dan Moore and his uncle Arthur another wonderful trainer.

Couldn’t happen to nicer people and great horse people. Served time under Martin Pipe who reinvented race horse fitness.

It’s a sad day for Tulloch Lodge. John Brady, better known in the racing industry and to his friends as ‘Crewy’, sadly passed away earlier this week. He came as a young lad to Tulloch Lodge and when my father TJ saw him, he gave him the nickname Crewy which then stuck with him for the rest of his working life. He was loved, admired and respected by all the boys and girls who worked with him over many decades. His work ethic was second to none, and even in his late 80s he could be seen carrying buckets of oats from the back of the stables to the top. No mean feat for a fit young man, let alone a rising 90-year-old.

As a young girl, I’d only known Crewy by that name. One day a letter came for John Brady, so I went into the stable and asked Crewy “do you know John Brady?” to which he piped up, “That’s me!” Just recently he was nominated for the Godolphin Stud & Stable Staff Awards. Crewy travelled with his grandson by train to the Gold Coast where he took out second prize, only to return the following year to be awarded first prize. He was always very philosophical about things and didn’t let those things worry him too much. Crewy was a highly intelligent person and had an amazingly retentive memory, so if ever I needed advice Crewy was the man to go to. He will be sadly missed by not only his wonderful family, but by some of his longstanding Tulloch Lodge colleagues both past and present: John Livinstone, Dave Meijer, Mel Norton, Damien Gaffney, Sylvie Katsiaris, Steve Dennis, Steve O’Halloran, Tania Rouse, Ian Slater, Killian Lofty and so many more. Rest in peace Crewy 🤍🕊️

A yarn I wanted to pen 👇

The hours being a milkman and horse trainer are hard to juggle but Brad Cole managed for decades🥛🏇

He also saved Lunar New Year giving a HK star a chance when nobody else would - but months later was fighting for his life.

Wow! She's one out of the box! Geegees Mistruth is simply dominant in the Group 3 Kevin Sharkie Mystic Journey Stakes in Hobart this evening.

An emotional result for trainer Stu Gandy and connections.
