@TTARacing @debbie_prest @TheStraightonX Absolutely entitled to your opinion but a lot of small breeders attend those parades. The heirarchy mixing with all comers can't be a bad thing

“When he went to stud (people said) he was a bit too old, a bit over raced and all the normal reasons why horses won’t make it as stallions and then his first crop came out and went bang straight away,” @tonygollan on @eurekastud’s Spirit of Boom.

In an industry full of unsung heroes, Basil Nolan doesn’t know why he was singled out for induction into the Queensland Racing Hall Of Fame.

But as @ms_peterpan reports, Nolan’s experiences in 54 years running @Raheenstud have shaped a perspective which has helped him give back to the thoroughbred industry.

A low-key Class 4 winner at Sha Tin delivered a major milestone for Price Bloodstock. David Price (@PriceBloodstock) shrugs off his 1000th Hong Kong win as a sign he is getting old, but the man himself and those key to his success reflect on how they turned a hobby into one of the most influential forces in Hong Kong racing.

Not only a passionate West Coast man but a brilliant sports journo & great mate. One of the best gone far too soon. My thoughts are with Emma and the boys. Life’s not fair 💔 https://t.co/SWyfZE3gca

A Victorian horseman, who operates on scale and reputation, is quietly shaping elite racing prospects for leading stables, will be one of the more interested sideline observers during the Golden Slipper.

@T_J_Carroll They will have plenty of access to the ratings supplied by domestic and international handicappers in line with lomg standing protocols. Presumably, BTAG might say, although X race meets rating, we don't recommend upgrade because similar "grand final" race is in a fortnight.

@JustinDarcy7 @HDwyerRacing @SimonMorrish23 never misses. Strapper to the stars

A deal which values Super Seth among the highest-priced Australasian thoroughbreds of all-time will see the emerging stallion move from Waikato Stud to Coolmore Australia in 2026.
