Did you ever get bored watching Black Caviar keep the record intact, without blemish? Or ever think it was mundane that Winx would put 33 together straight, 25 of those at the elite Group 1 level?
No, me either. So why am I posing this seemingly totally rhetorical question now when it would be much easier to fill an end of year column with lists of top horses or achievements to make it easy on myself?
It stems from a piece put together by RSN racing editor Matt Stewart under the headline “Competition and Courage, not dominance, gets hearts racing”. He mentioned the win – 11th in a row, of The Harrovian at Eagle Farm as the most popular winner of Saturday. I’d agree, but it came in the context of questioning how that “courageous win” (and it was), was more stirring than the “relentless dominance of Black Caviar and Winx”.
Tom Waterhouse, the son of famous bookmaker Robbie Waterhouse and leading racehorse trainer Gai Waterhouse, has posed with farm animals and women in bikinis in a series of bizarre Christmas posts.
The 38-year-old bookmaker posted a photo of himself in a suit holding a baby goat surrounded by more goats, alpacas and scantily-clad young women on a regional property to Twitter and Instagram on Christmas Day. From my family to yours, wishing you all Merry Christmas, Waterhouse captioned the post.
The women in the photo were models and not actually Waterhouse s family.
He is the fourth generation of the Waterhouse racing dynasty and the grandson of Australia s most influential bookmaker William Bill Waterhouse, who died in November last year.
