You were always the life of the party
@CCasertaJockey
and the one making sure everybody else was happy. Iβll miss our late-night drives, our 8-hour road trips, sing-alongs to the Backstreet Boys, our shared birthday party week, your honesty, loyalty, and friendship.
Miss you π
The only thing I learnt from the weekend is that we need a cut of AFL media. Media passes being handed out like coupons leading to ridiculous reporting & comments. Make a media pass worth something & maybe weβll get some accountable/smart commentary compared to the garbage now
How long before the guy with the hands on his hips is a GIF? Next time my horse doesnβt see daylight or is three-wide from barrier 4 i want to use his disappointed look in my tweets!!

When you tell the American missus that you kicked 6 goals on Nic Nat, Mundaring v Maida Vale U/16βs and she replies with βso whys he on tv and youβre notβ - night done go West Coast

Update on Raquel Clark - sheβs been cleared of any serious injury, still struggling with headaches and will stay in over night for more observations

Only backed him because of his track record, so ill donate $600 of the win to the bushfire appeal as well

"I've copped a lot of abuse from people that don't know me."
Michael Walker is emotional after the abuse he has received after his Melbourne Cup ride on Prince Of Arran.
Canβt think any good came from that. Was my childhood hero but itβs just sad to see how he is now. Not ready to talk about his Mental Health/Drug Problems let alone fight them. Fingers crossed he surrounds himself with the right people & gets on track, one day πβ€οΈ

Massive fan of just one commentator for all the World Cup matches. No pointless info, no opinions, no βmateβ chat, just factual commentary and calling what they see. A few other sports could look at it rather than having 6 βexpertsβ with a million recent ex players
Chris Caserta will land at hospital at 4pm. I am at the hospital with his family and will pass on updates with their permission as they come out. They thank everyone for the concern

As someone who saw a psychologist for months dealing with depression & anxiety, if I wasnβt able to open up to such supportive mates it wouldβve been a lot worse. Remember, most of the time itβs the people you expect the least that need to be asked if theyβre ok the most

Not one to normally show losing bets, but i think you could imagine the yelling that was going on here. 17 legs, $22 for $17,072, needed 1 goal B. Crouch (who missed late) and Houli 2 disposals short. The voice took a hammering

Average comment by you. James and I actually have integrity, want people to win & are happy to show our bets. We put them on well before weβre live, so Iβm glad some people have noticed that. Good luck on the punt

While I think itβs ridiculous that Novak Djokovic is allowed to enter the country & play, he didnβt give the exemption to himself. The tweets & commentary directed at him are ridiculous. Higher bodies than him owe everyone an apology - he had all rights to apply

Spoke to him when he made the decision to go & last night, no doubt isolation was tough & boring but heβs deserved this. Riding so well and so consistent, now a Group 1-winning jockey.

Any Joe Bowditch criticism shows a lack of racing knowledge. Anyone whoβs watched Viddora before could see she wasnβt 100%. Joe niggled her at the 600m, he was up her at the 400m & she was not travelling well enough to do anything down the home straight
