@piersmorgan Morally England had the best team on paper.

[Stuart Bate @Bateos39]

@dannynoeljackso One of the best in the provincials, injurys slowed him down recently. Hopefully can stay in fit and continue to ride winners

[Stuart Bate @Bateos39]

Some ride that by Mitchell Bell on Lavish Empire at Muswellbrook. Great to see him back riding winners

[Stuart Bate @Bateos39]

Can stay @MarlowLuke @ChrisRoots1 @daveystan1

@matthewjzammit @TRGMikeWood turf practices are ever evolving and always trying to be improved to ensure even wear and the overall plant health are improved. But this will never be enough for the person on the wrong side of the result, no matter the code.

[Stuart Bate @Bateos39]

@matthewjzammit @TRGMikeWood No matter the sport (racing, cricket, golf or lawn bowls) every greenkeeper will always have plant health as the N1 priority. I’m yet to meet a turfy that doesn’t do their best within their budget to produce a fair & even playing surface. Unfortunately Mother Nature doesn’t help

[Stuart Bate @Bateos39]

@matthewjzammit @TRGMikeWood I’m a former employee at Randwick under Michael, he is one of the leading minds in Turf Managment in Australia. I’m a qualified greenkeeper current working in Stadium turf. Look up Evapotranspiration, that is likely the reason out of the warm spell we had over the weekend.

[Stuart Bate @Bateos39]

@TRGMikeWood @matthewjzammit Matthew is clearly knowledgeable on Evapotranspiration and knows best. Michael Wood should go to him for some guidance.

[Stuart Bate @Bateos39]

@matthewjzammit @TRGMikeWood Matt can you walk me through your turf management qualifications and experience?

Gets the shits if he doesn't get a little snack before dinner.... know the feeling.

Looking forward to big Apollo Missions return next week 🚀

[Stuart Bate @Bateos39]

Let’s gooooo big boy!!!

[mitchellbeer @beermitchell]

Apollo Mission 🚀
Been terrific winning 2/2 this prep, off to town on Saturday with @G1TySchil

[Stuart Bate @Bateos39]

@matthewjzammit Cool, so with that you can tell me the make up of the soil profile on the course proper and what the predominant species of turf is at the moment. With that in mind how much water do you think should go down based on weather conditions and ensuring the plant is at optimum health

[Stuart Bate @Bateos39]

@crowder_aron Been an amazing year, he’s come a long way. And now we dare to dream. There will be celebrations for days if he wins.

[Stuart Bate @Bateos39]

Our big boy goes bang again!

[mitchellbeer @beermitchell]

Arrived to our Kembla stable an 8 start maiden.. fast forward 7 months he's now won 4 provincial races (45k)

Now bang on track for the 500k Four pillars 🚀 💰

@HKJoshyReed9_ @sesho17 Sorry my bad, read that incorrectly after the fact, didn’t see the odds. Was on the golf course all afternoon.
