Sad to hear one of the most admired Snowy Mountain Brumbies "Matagi" was killed today.
NSW government stated they are required to
"protect fragile alpine ecosystems"
Unless of corse it's renewable energy.
Disgraceful.
Today we say goodbye to Aqueduct Racetrack.
As a teenager, I spent so many days there with my friends. It’s where I fell in love with horse racing and where dreaming of owning great horses first began.
Years later, I was fortunate enough to win dream races there like the Demoiselle, the Remsen, the Wood Memorial, and Stay Thirsty winning the Cigar Mile (picture below).
Without Aqueduct, I wouldn’t be in this game.
Thank you, Aqueduct, for all the memories.

Record company collapses in Australia.
A 50% surge in business failures this financial year.
That's right @JEChalmers.
That's the predictable outcome of ALP policies:
- high energy prices
- stifling red tape & bureaucracy
- terrible IR laws
- out of touch regulators (eg. ASIC think its fair and reasonable to charge $491 just to change the name of a company. In the UK its 20 pounds)
Yep - its on you Jim, because you may impress Canberra journos with your nonsense but you aren't fooling the businesses you are crushing.

Banking
Our hopeful future PM, Albo walked into a bank to cash a cheque
When he’s called over to the teller, he says, "Good morning, could you please cash this cheque for me?"
The teller replied, "It would be my pleasure sir. Could you please show me your ID?"
Albo said, "Truthfully, I didn’t bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I’m the leader of the Labor Party of Australia."
The teller said, "Yes sir, I know who you are... but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors, forgers, and requirements of the legislation etc., I must insist on seeing ID."
Albo said, “Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they’ll tell you. Everybody knows who I am."
The teller said, "I’m sorry, Mr Albanese, but these are the bank rules and I must follow them"
Getting a bit agitated, Albo snapped, “C'mon woman, I’m urging you, please, to cash this cheque.."
The teller said, "Look Mr Albanese, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods, he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his cheque.
"Another time, Patrick Rafter came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and made a fabulous shot where the tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed his cheque. So, Mr Albanese, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you?"
Albo stands there thinking, and thinking, and finally says, "Honestly, my mind is a total blank... there’s nothing that comes to my mind. I can't think of a single thing.
I have absolutely no idea what to do... and I don't have a clue."
With a big smile, the teller said, "Will that be large or small notes, Mr Albanese?
