This was a big week for Blake Shinn with 8-5-1 from 23 rides. He rode a treble at Randwick before a treble at Canberra. He is a top rider who would mix it anywhere on the world stage and succeed.

A special day @atc_races for different reasons. An emotional Group 1 win on Trapeze Artist; a brilliant 2yo colt Yes Yes Yes who put himself right up into Golden Slipper calculations; and a tough underrated mare Nettoyer beautifully prepared by her trainer Wendy Roache. #onwards!

Blake Shinn's daring ride on Happy Clapper and how simple maths saw Winx home, sizing up the two-year-olds and Al Mah Haha comprehensive in the Country Championships Qualifier at Goulburn.

How Punter's Intelligence saw Saturday - https://t.co/VUbaxffRhj

The journey continues with a new week, looking at ways to improve my skills with specific exercises by master Personal Trainer Trent Langlands. @trentlanglands

[Blake Shinn @blake_shinn]

Three winners on Saturday. The star of the show was Happy Clapper running a gallant second behind the legend Winx with the crowd giving a rousing reception to a horse I’ve been beaten on!
Happy Clapper deserved recognition for the fight that he put up against a great champion!

[Andrew Bensley @AndrewBensley]

It will be very cosy once all the Jockeys room renovations are completed. Full credit to Greg Rudolph and his team for providing us jockeys with the best care. @hawkesburyrc #vision #caringforthejockeys 👏

[Blake Shinn @blake_shinn]

Sebring! #RIP
He provided me with an opportunity as a young jockey to ride a great horse and to make great relationships with owners,breeders and the wider industry. A huge loss for @widdenstud ,the breeding industry & @StarTbreds .
His legacy lives on in his excellent progeny!

[Blake Shinn @blake_shinn]

Congratulations @BBakerRacing & Strawberry Hill Stud. Felt quite nostalgic when jumping aboard her today after having the pleasure of winning on her superstar Mother Tuesday Joy. Glad to get the win today 👍😊

@blake_shinn preparing for the #allstarmile and the Clapper @SkyRacingAU there’s no substitute for hard work, Blake has been working hard in the gym for months so no surprise to see the immediate success
