Rarely post stories other than blatant self promotion of my own (🤣) but had to share this beyond the pages of Winning Post. Lovely tribute by one of the all-time best racing writers.
May I be so bold to say this was one of the finest rides I have seen on one of my horses.
🛩️ The Jett zeroed in on his finish line target and cut the corner to boldly ride HEZDARNHOTTOO to victory in the last at Caulfield.
Absolutely love that @stanley_jett had the confidence to call me this afternoon and request to stay hard fence, and then execute his plan perfectly under pressure. Initiative pays! 👏
It hurts when we get beaten.Bad luck seemingly pilot error and all the rest.That’s our view and it hits our kick and we react.
Calling jockeys retards & F..wits is a disgrace and has no place on any forum & public place.
The risk takers in the most dangerous sport. Has to stop😡
🚨BREAKING: Australia, France, and Germany have now all CANCELLED their New Year's Celebrations.
"It has ALL been cancelled beacuse the French government can NO LONGER keep its citizens safe from Radical Islamic Terrorism."

Media Release | One Nation's demand to exit WHO embraced by Trump
Australia should affirm its sovereignty and withdraw its membership of the World Health Organisation following President Donald Trump’s withdrawal of the United States from the organisation.
One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said her party had been calling for Australia to exit the WHO since 1996, a call now more urgent after revelations of the organisation’s overreaching plans to take over the country’s health system and dictate Australian health policy.
“The WHO has been pushing hard for a global pandemic treaty which would enable this unelected international body to effectively take over any Australian response to a future pandemic,” Senator Hanson said.
“One Nation won’t stand for Australia signing over its sovereignty by being party to such an agreement. We have no business being a member of a body that does not recognise the Australian people’s ultimate authority over how our country responds to a challenge like COVID-19.
“The United States under President Trump has recognised its best interests do not lie with the WHO. Australia’s best interests lie in charting an independent path too – we can have positive and beneficial diplomatic and trade relationships without unelected international bureaucracies compromising our sovereignty.
“Australia should review all of its memberships to bodies like the WHO – including the United Nations. Australia may have been one of its original founding members, but the UN has hopelessly lost its way. It’s become a platform for abhorrent regimes to claim legitimacy, a forum of hatred for western countries like Australia, and a tacit supporter of international terrorism.
“It’s been said that countries don’t have friends; they have interests. The UNHCR, the UNRWA, the International Criminal Court – are we a member or a party to these unelected world organisations because it is truly in our nation’s interest?
“I congratulate Mr Trump for leading by example and putting his nation’s interests before all else. One Nation puts Australia and Australians first.”
@13cabs No, it wasn’t from a driver overcharging, it was the price that your website is quoting for the job prior to booking. And clearly I wasn’t going to book with 13cabs given the price difference..
Taxi drivers out there wondering why they cannot get fares and compete with ride-share companies.
Didi and Uber charging $83 and $92 respectively vs 13cabs charging $185 for the same fare….. 🤷♂️
Get serious @13cabs if you want people to use and support your business
