could be provided for the David Bates Benefit dinner after the fall that nearly killed Batesy that year. Within a week, a framed gold plated Zabeel horseshoe arrived for the auction - a fantastic gesture from a legend of the industry. RIP Sir Patrick.

Deepest condolences to Justine, Lady Hogan, and family on the passing of the legend, Sir Patrick, today. Not only was he an unparalleled master horseman, his generosity knew no bounds. I recall in 2009 calling Cambridge Stud from my Darwin base to see if perhaps an auction item

So sorry to hear of the passing of the incomparable Colin Jillings last night, aged 91. Jillo was a legend of racing, and his many friends on both sides of the Tasman will remember him with great fondness. He was a fountain of knowledge and advice and will never be forgotten. RIP

[Andrew O'Toole @OToolman1]

Deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Megan Taylor, who lost her life on the racetrack today. Unfortunately we in the NT know the perils of racefalls only too well, having lost two young ladies in Darwin in the last 10 years. RIP.

@GuerinSports One of the greats of our game. Will never forget the dinner we shared, along with Sticko, Woodsy and co, after the great mare won the Flight Stakes at Randwick as a 3yo. An absolute champion bloke, my deepest sympathies to the McKee family.
