Deserved win for the veteran after going around at the top level for many seasons in HK. A 4th Group class win for the former sandgroper… he’s come a long way after winning a Narrogin maiden back in 2020 Racing WA Thoroughbred

Smart move by RV here 👏 Let’s hope this opens the door for Ka Ying 🚀 to step out at Flemington on November 8

Meanwhile, in Australia… A nice sit by Chloe this morning! 🦘😂

Well done to the handicappers - who look to be operating with a bit more free rein now days - for adjusting his rating +8 to reflect his dominance. Although I suspect he is still well below his peak figure at least they are attempting to reflect his actual performances.

Another example (if you needed one) of how horse racing can elevate with a proactive effort to internationalise the sport #KYR

Favourite memory; going to the 2002 Cox Plate - aged 14 - and the old man slipped a pineapple to the red silk jacket-wearing usher to let us into the Members Only part of the grandstand… learnt a lot that day 😂

Interestingly, he is published with a new peak rating of 128, which based on the latest edition of LWBRR would have him equal second 🤔

Great result for the Japan Cup to have its first foreign winner since 2005. Fantastic race won by a great horse in an eventful contest #JapanCup2025

Goes good 𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱 🔭

Laughable situation around weights, surely they could have been released today (post Van Heemst)- In Good Order weighted 59kg but now rates 2.5kg inferior to Apulia post-Ted 🥴 Changes race completely if Apulia gets deserved 59kg, In Good Order 56.5kg BJ Ryan Morton Racing

Japan has just 20 (twenty) 3yo+ Group 1 races a season 15 of them made the top 100 in 2025, fantastic effort. Quality > quantity

Fantastic long weekend New Zealand Bloodstock race day and sales with my ‘hostess with the mostest’ Darryl Anderson 🇳🇿 NZTM 🐎 Can highly recommend a trip across for this meeting for anyone who hasn’t been, it’s a terrific evening 👏
