@Racing_Previews The champ has got a tough ask in front of him.

Stern Idol vs Sing For Peace

That's what today at Sandown is all about.

Can the old boy bow out of racing with one last win? I don't think so.

2 runs ago Peace demolished his rivals and even with the weight swing he's still 6 lengths better off on the same Heavy 8.

Sing loud!

Brial Rose made it two wins from three at Wagga on Monday.

That ties into R7 at Echuca today.

Needawinna finished second, just under a length, to Brial two runs back and looks to bring some value outside of the favourite.

Much luck today ✌🏻

The Indi Springs form I was a fan of and Arapawa just franked it.

Think the former is going to be a progressive type.

[OddsOnBanker @BRZB_Stable]

All I got from R2 was a Hard Kick in the balance

It would be great to know if VAR was working today in Boston at the #FIFAWorldCup.

I've never seen such a one-sided refereeing performance, turning down not one but TWO penalties.

Manipulation through VAR of decisions is ruining the game we once loved.

@GregReinhart Like you said Greg, tragic.

These animals aren't anything else but some of our best mates. What they give us and what we give them is beyond friendship.

Feel for everyone connected this morning ❤️

[Greg Reinhart @GregReinhart]

All of these horses lost is tragic but Crazy Jet just won yesterday at Saratoga, so to go from that highest of highs to the lowest of lows in less than 24 hours seems especially awful.

[OddsOnBanker @BRZB_Stable]

@JHallettPhoto I read about this when I woke this morning. It's an absolutely heartbreaking loss.

Thoughts are with everyone associated with the horses and Saratoga ❤️

[Jessica Hallett @JHallettPhoto]

The only survivor from the barn fire today at Saratoga. Twin B Speed Dial. Broke out of his stall and ran out, getting burns on his ears.

The winning time of 1:53 around that half mile track is insane.

Moni is the benchmark for female trotters at this track, as she toys with her rivals from the front almost every week.

Class horse with a target on its back.

[Yonkers Raceway @YonkersRaceway]

Payback Moni lowered her track record from last week to 1:53 in the $43,000 F&M Invitational Trot for driver/owner Yannick Gingras, Jaiden and FAC Racing and trainer Per Engblom

@ShibaInuKs He came 3rd. Verdun went all the way, holding off Young Bluey by a head

[OddsOnBanker @BRZB_Stable]

Get in Sweet Beach Life.

The best horse in the race and probably in NY tonight.

Now, let's see if Captain HammerHead can make it 3 in a row.

[OddsOnBanker @BRZB_Stable]

1.48.4 was slick for the half mile track at Northfield Park.

Kiwi, Mossdale Ben taking out the win by a nose to Prince Hal Hanover.

That first half mile, there was smoke coming off those bikes.

All aboard the Payne Train 🚂

Paddy has 2 running at Geelong today.

Pray For Elegance (1) now favourite after the scratching of Resonate.

Verona Rupes (8) is first up in what looks a pretty open race.

Can the stable continue their great form?

[OddsOnBanker @BRZB_Stable]

TRAINER ON FIRE 🔥

Patrick Payne is on a roll.

He's 5 winners out of his last 7 runners.

It started on Thursday at Moe, continued at Pakenham on Friday night, a double at Caulfield on Saturday, the Australian steeplechase yesterday, and he's just took out Race 2 at Kilmore.

[OddsOnBanker @BRZB_Stable]

I mean, look at those closing splits.

[OddsOnBanker @BRZB_Stable]

New Zealand Pacer Marketplace qualified at Menangle yesterday.

The 4 YO gelding trained by @ReganToddRacing ran the final half mile in 53.5 seconds, beating the classy Ubetcha Tigerpie by a neck.

Just mesmerising!
