Vale Mike Moroney. He achieved so much as a trainer but was also such a likeable, kind and generous person to deal with. Thoughts with his family and friends.

Submitted a complaint to NTRC who actioned promptly. BetDeluxe then emailed requesting I withdraw the complaint in return for my money. Weeks after accepting and multiple follow ups, money now received. I’ve been fortunate, but these operations should continue to be called out.

An update on Blake Spriggs from this afternoon.

Puts things in perspective.

Keep fighting mate. Whole industry behind you.

[Dustin Spriggs @DustinSpriggs4]

We’ve had some positive news with Blake. He came out of an induced coma this morning. He was responsive, knew who all his loved ones were and is fighting hard.

He has a lot of internal bleeding from a punctured lung, which they’re getting on top of. He is still heavily sedated whilst they are working on broken ribs and collarbone.

A lot of work to go but we are over the moon about news the last 12 hours as he was in a bad way when he arrived at the hospital.

We would like to give our deepest thank yous to the Moruya Race Club staff for their amazing efforts with Blake and Beany, the rescue chopper staff and everyone at Canberra hospital.

Blake has many family and friends by his side. I’ll be forever grateful to Mitch Beer, Jimmy Innes Jnr and Tony Crisaf for travelling straight to the hospital for support and their efforts relaying news back to me.

I’m soon to board a boat from Nusa Lembongan to Denpasar and have managed to book a red eye home. I can’t wait to be by his side. The support that Blake has received from everyone online has been amazing. Blake would really appreciate it. He has a road ahead but is winning the battle. ❤️ 🙏🏽

Been punting pretty well every day in Vic and a little in NZ the past five or so months. A few personal observations:

[The Chaser @chaser]

"You can't expect us to pay a bit more for workers," says company charging drastically more for groceries

[Matthew Camenzuli @Matt_Camenzuli]

The Commonwealth bank is not happy with $9.8 billion in profit for the 23/24 financial year.

The will now charge you to withdraw your own cash.

This is obscene.

[Paul Bongiorno @PaulBongiorno]

So Woolworths is prepared to lose $50 million in sales while it starves out its striking warehouse workers.
The surveillance and conditions these workers endure is completely beyond the pale.
I am tempted never to shop in their supermarkets ever again - despite the inconvenience.

Yesterday our racing community lost a talented jockey and a wonderful person, Johnathon Parkes. He was not only a talented rider but also one of the nicest guys you could meet, always willing lend a hand and share a smile. His passion for horses and the sport was evident 1/2

[Ally Mosley @ally_mosley]

Think About It is up and ok ❤️

[Kevin Blake @kevinblake2011]

Australia already has more Group 1 races than Britain, Ireland and France combined. For further context, there are currently four horses trained in Australia that are officially rated 120+. There are 21 such horses in Britain, Ireland and France. Yep, more upgrades needed. 🤷‍♂️

On behalf of all at Sky Racing, we wish to pay our respects to the late Graham 'Shadow' McNeice.

Graham was an icon of Australian sport, racing and broadcasting who helped make Sky Racing a household name. But most importantly, he was a great friend to many. Rest In Peace.

🏇🏽Introducing - Best Racehorse Power Rankings ⏱️⚖️📊🏆

For as long as horse racing has existed, the debate over which horse is truly the best has ignited passionate discussion among racing fans.

https://t.co/xOrXsc7hog

My new Best Racehorse Power Rankings and the 🏇🏽WINX Score (W-Score) is designed to objectively rank the top-performing racehorses in Australia and New Zealand with a consistent measurement process, that will undoubtedly
spark engaging discussion.

Click to head over to Racing dot com and read more about the methodology along with:

*️⃣ The current top ten horses in Australia
*️⃣ Last season’s 2YO Rankings
*️⃣ Last season’s 3YO Rankings
*️⃣ The Historical top ranked horse for each six-month period back to 2016.

Keen to hear all opinions, whether you agree or disagree. I'll update the list each fortnight during the Spring.

[James Jordan @James_Jordan]

Absolutely not good enough and I know it happens a lot. Raceclubs should be prohibited from offering it as a service. If you want punters to pay for your prize money then stop trying to shaft them.

[Kick Collective @KickCollective]

Kick Collective has been denied media passes to the @aus_turf_club for the season, citing our views on the proposed Rosehill sale as 'not aligning' with the ATC. A disappointing attempt to restrict those in NSW racing who do not accept leadership's decisions.
