Exeter reinswoman, Taylah Osmond, notched up her 199th and 200th career wins on a race-day where ‘Girl-Power’ reigned supreme at Goulburn Paceway late last month (March 30). Thanks so much for you chat Taylah and Amy.

Since 1987 and 2001 respectively, 85-year-old Joan Hobbs, and 84-year-old Colleen Thompson, have been big supporters of the Goulburn Harness Racing Club – all without fuss and always voluntarily. Here's my dedication to two NSW harness racing legends.

I'm umpiring at the Australasian CHRISTIAN BROTHERS Cricket tourney here in Brisbane next week, but this week I've got the TENNIS bug. So I headed off to the Brisbane Open to watch some of the world's best, including Danil Medvedev. I got perfect seats 2 rows behind the server.

Finally got the surgeon's okay to run again as of January 1... 122 days after my prostate op. Enjoyed Monday's tennis so much. Not even sore. Great first-up win Danny Simpson. Time to shed this belly and get fit again! Brisane Open here I come. Go Francis Tiafoe and Madison Keys.

Happy 2026 to all my family and friends. To be fair the Year of the filthy Snake (2025) is one I'd love to forget quickly, but I'm so excited about the Year of the Horse (2026) as I embark on my 62nd year on Earth without a prostate. God bless you all from the botttom of my heart

I am doing handstands & cartwheels today!!! According to my brilliant Brisbane surgeon I have just 0.008% of my prostate cancer left. This basically means I'm in the clear to ride my push bike & play cricket, tennis & tabletennis again in two weeks. Another checkup in 3 months.
