Almandin has done a wonderful job for us and allowed our team to experience some of the greatest moments a racetrack can provide. It is now time for him to enjoy a ‘5 Star’ retirement.

Dear @ScottMorrisonMP , All these backpackers and tourists who have no regard to social distancing rules, when caught should be deported immediately, no warnings. We don’t want or need them here.

I applaud the actions of our government both state and federal in trying to deal with this fire disaster as best they can. We should stop kicking them and concentrate on supporting the real heros, those on the ground dealing with the disaster on the front line.

Despite my love of sport I am still having trouble convincing myself that the Aus Open tennis is a good idea. After what everyone in Melbourne has been through in the past year is the risk worth it🤷‍♂️

What a joke, feel very sorry for Eddie, impossible for anyone with a brain to think he meant any malice toward the particular individual. But when you are as successful as he is, the Australian way is to be cut down by those who are not worthy of carrying his bags. #outrage

It is amazing to me how many people who live and/or work in the racing ‘bubble’ have absolutely no perception how the sport is perceived by the general public. As an industry if we dont start listening we will start hurting. We must be strong and bold and build for the future.

Hard to comprehend yet another failure of Dan Andrews handling of this pandemic. Compared to all other gov’t in our country his performance is laughable. Unfortunately the Victorian community are his victims. This is the greatest failure of leadership in history. #contacttracing

Dissapointing listening to Patrick Dangerfield on @1116sen @WhateleySEN either he/they do not understand the gravity of the situation or are being belligerent. If as you say you need more information, I suggest reading the paper or watching the news Paddy!

Just watched South Australian premier Peter Malinauskas get interviewed on @FOXFOOTY he looks and sounds like a really good bloke. I have no idea if he is doing a good or bad job, but he has certainly got right behind Gather Round, he’s been everywhere. It’s very refreshing

How good would it be if those politicians in opposition actually offered support to our elected leaders rather than constantly sniping from the sidelines. Absolutely sick of hearing the constant whining from the likes of each way Albo and Tim Smith. Now is not the time.

To me the most obvious thing to come out of @FlemingtonVRC ‘rapid racing’ is how good it is to have shorter breaks between races, 30min should become the industry norm.

A left field marketing idea….Imagine a world where you could watch all Melb and Syd races in one place on a dedicated Chanel and get all form, replays etc. from a single source. Only 2 possible reasons it doesn’t happen, ego and/or stupidity. #utopia

The rules of racing in Aus should be immediately changed so as any trainer charged with a serious offence (a dq offence as opposed to suspension)should be stood down immediately they are charged. The brand damage the industry is suffering is unsustainable.

We are fortunate in Victoria to have @MelbRacingClub and @FlemingtonVRC who have invested in the tracks. So even after the massive rain event we had this week we got to see G1 racing on a perfect deck today as we did with the Cup a few years back. #priorities 👏

Me 2! Unfortunatly in our great game sometimes you have a good run and sometimes bad, our team at Macedon do a fantastic job and whilst it’s not happening for us at the moment, the luck will turn, it always does if you keep fighting the good fight.

I keep waiting for Team Williams to strike form this Spring, but apart from the odd good run, they seem to be struggling big time! Just 6 winners in 2019 by my count & 3 winners from 66 runners in metro races. Back to start of 2018/2019 season - 6 winners from 104 metro runners.

What the authorities have done to the CBD and approaches, installing all these fundamentally unused bike lanes, creating gridlock at all hours of the day and night has been the single greatest public works failure in history. It has destroyed the Melbourne CBD

I guess if you win 3 G1s on the bounce including the best time honoured G1 sprint in the land against all comers, you are fully entitled to be called ‘the best’ not probably the best.

Fantastic that Gov. employees are being paid to get vaccinated, how about Gov also pay private sector workers. After all it is the private sector especially small business who have felt the full economic pain of Covid. Let’s really ‘all be in this together’
