Small Fry breezed nicely this morning and trotted up well for the vets afterwards. All clear to run on Saturday💪

[Jake Bourke @JakeBourke]

@MW020927 Great to hear!

[Jake Bourke @JakeBourke]

It is worth noting that Small Fry, who is favourite for Saturday’s G2 Zipping Classic, must pass a vet examination on Thursday morning before being cleared to take his place in the race this weekend.

He did not pass that examination prior to final Melbourne Cup declarations.

I cannot stop watching this. Just outstanding.

💅🏼

Probably even more impressive to note they won $6.57 million of the first $6.93 million available with five of the first six horses across the line.

[Jake Bourke @JakeBourke]

Ciaron Maher and his connections have claimed $6.83 million of the $10.2 million available in prizemoney in the Melbourne Cup.

Incredible.

[Jake Bourke @JakeBourke]

Send him to Flemington for redemption in the Champions Sprint, David.

Massive respect to Ray Dawson discussing such a personal story on a short work trip on the other side of the world. And brilliantly told by @tmase04

Here’s Tulloch belting up his rivals in the 1957 Caulfield Cup as a 3YO.

He won the Caulfield Guineas, Rosehill Guineas, Victoria Derby, AJC Derby and QLD Derby that same season after winning the Sires Produce in the same three states as a 2YO.

Some animal.

[Jake Bourke @JakeBourke]

He reminds me more of a young Mr Brightside than his brother, oddly enough.

Nice horse!

Great news broken by Andrew Eddy - Sheza Alibi will run in the G1 Might And Power Stakes (2000m) at Caulfield on October 10.

Lindermann and Lady Shenandoah both look all set to take their place at Caulfield this Saturday after being scratched from their Sydney assignments this morning.

Aeliana has been scratched from the G1 Underwood.

@pacman1072 (I’m not one of them) 😂

[Jake Bourke @JakeBourke]

Autumn Boy in a world without Sheza Alibi…

🥇 Caulfield Guineas
🥇 Randwick Guineas
🥇 Rosehill Guineas
🥇 Doncaster Handicap
🥇 Makybe Diva Stakes

How much is he worth!?

[Jake Bourke @JakeBourke]

@pacman1072 I reckon those who got a piece of the $26 for the Cox Plate would be feeling pretty optimistic right now…

[Jake Bourke @JakeBourke]

@racrob95 Apologies, Cal. I thought it was half interesting. History has zero impact on the actual race this Saturday, obviously, but does help provide some wider context to the performance. Just like when she became the first filly since Sunline to win the Doncaster. Enjoy your Wednesday.

[Jake Bourke @JakeBourke]

Sheza Alibi will need to defy history to win Saturday’s Makybe Diva Stakes.

NO filly or mare has won the race since it was upgraded to G1 status in 2013.

❌ Mystic Journey @ $2.05 in 2019
❌ Tofane @ $3.80 in 2021
❌ Via Sistina @ $2.60 in 2024
❌ Via Sistina @ $1.80 in 2025

Romantic Warrior has been retired.

[Jake Bourke @JakeBourke]

Proper colt.

[Jake Bourke @JakeBourke]

Guest House will join some pretty elite company if he can return a winner this Saturday (or this campaign).

Pierro (2012) and Sepoy (2011) are the most recent Golden Slipper-winning colts to return and win another race as a 3YO.
