By 2021-02-13T10:21+11:00 We have a ripper meeting at Flemington today, highlighted by the Group 1 Black Caviar Lighting down the straight.

We were set to have a solid crowd at headquarters but a snap five-day lockdown in Victoria has forced the races behind closed doors.

Stree...

By 2021-02-06T10:37+11:00 The Group 1 C.F. Orr Stakes and the Blue Diamond Preludes headline todays racing at Caulfield. The track is rated a Good 4, the weather is fine with BOM suggesting 25 degrees and 20% chance of rain and the rail is in the true. Race 1 - The Big Screen Company Handicap @ 12:40pm Loved the way Regardsmaree won here on Australia Day. He was wide from the jump and won arrogantly. It’s no great price today but he should be winning. Is building a nice record. Mystery Sho...
