| Today at Canterbury we saw two very smart horses from my stable. A while back, not many would have thought Battant (Flying Spur x Snipify) would win a race in the city, let alone smash a long-standing class record. I love horses that deceive the average eye and Battant is exactly that. As a young horse he was rather plain and a tad gawky, and I may have called him a pig's ear but this... MORE |

| Much is happening at head quarters at the moment but this time I mean in regards to Racing NSW. It's amazing the way people waste money and it's quite remarkable how the funds that were so hardly fought for, will seemingly dissipate.

| It's been quite a varied and interesting day. I think most of my days are pretty varied and it's one of the great pleasures in being a horse trainer. I'm out and about and not stuck in the office 24/7. It starts at the track each morning, followed by a snooze back home then some breakfast before off to do the rounds.

| What a superb day Wednesday was. Everyone was raving about the weather and how yummy it was. There was no humidity and the moon was as big as it's been for twenty-three years. Next time it will be that close to the earth we'll all be in a retirement home or well and truly pushing up daisies! Weather like this had everyone in great spirits and we really rock and... MORE |
