@DaveSharma Try to make it sound like you mean it.

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

@elonmusk Source? Fact check? Nope, just put up a table and away you go.

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

@goodfoodgal You left out don’t get high on your own supply.

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

@T_J_Carroll Why don’t you know what the riding instructions were? Didn’t you listen to the interview?

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

@Lisa9Sophia @RodsRacing1 Talk about clutching at straws. Hilariously confected outrage.

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

Only 14 runners in an Epsom?

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

what a goat track is the Valley. BTW, it's a bit unclear who the sponsor is.

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

@nortssss Terrible ride. Gave it no hope.

@StevePHolland @aclennell Liberals will remain in opposition as long as they keep believing Sky News dinosaurs BS.

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

@Faithproofapolo Keep on going. One more election and the Liberals will done.

@BConn39 @paulsakkal On the contrary, extremely useful for Labor’s sworn enemies.

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

@paulsakkal Coalition tried it in Warringah in 2022. Fail.

@abcnews Peter says it, ABC reports without question or hesitation.

@DamienRactliffe @djebel Not that anabolics weren’t very widely used on geldings especially. I recall when they were banned Dr Geoff Chapman gave up training and one top ten Sydney trainer didn’t train a winner for three months after they were banned.

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

@PaulieDGrad @braddavo Disagree

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

@PaulieDGrad @braddavo Thought Atzeni rode a superb race. Made full use of the barrier, never went round a horse till it presented to win. Faded only last 50m. Every chance.

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

@T_J_Carroll @artbymary17 Atzeni’s ride on Zardozi was superb. Made full use of the barrier, never went round a horse presented to win, just faded final 50m.

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

My god what a ride Zardozi

[The Gadfly @turfgadfly]

I would have preferred Paul Keating.
