There were plenty there today.I will be interested to see if a word is mentioned in the stewards report. -
And she won the race. 7 starters, how hard would it be for the slackers who call themselves stipendiary stewards to do something about this! IF I owned the 2nd, 3rd or 4th horse I would file a ' Request for a Ruling ' on the basis that she'd breached the whip guidelines and therefore should lose the race. The slackers would dismiss it, on the basis that they did not have authority under the Rules, but at least it would be' on report '. People need to take action like this to make NZTR realise it cannot carry on. -
Ah shit Pure mate yuh got me 🤣 we just gotta have mighty MarkP there, we only got half a launcher without him.....LOL Cheers Iraklis -

The Repubs have no choice they must pass this bill , if they don't the huge tax cuts Trump gave to the lower paid (Trump 1) will be cancelled and everyone will face huge tax increases . -
A sad reminder of just how dangerous it can be around horses , had a couple of close calls myself , and but for the grace of God . Thoughts are with all associated with her . -
Yes. It was repeated several times in the last 100. Probably a DQ in other jurisdictions. -

‘Heartbroken' trainers lead tributes for beloved team member The late Peta Tait was a popular and much-loved member of the Victorian racing industry. Picture: Racing Photos By Gilbert Gardiner 12:15pm • 02 July 2025 Peta Tait has been remembered as a "much-loved" and "popular" member of the Victorian racing industry, particularly in Cranbourne. Heartbroken Busuttin Racing has led tributes for the late Tait, who died Tuesday following a tragic accident at the Cranbourne stable. "At this time our thoughts are with those nearest and dearest to Peta, her immediate family and many friends," co-trainers Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young said in a statement. "Peta was an incredible person who was dedicated to her role and will leave a longstanding legacy. We are heartbroken by her loss." Tait sustained a fatal injury by a horse while working at the stable on Tuesday. The 43-year-old was attended to by the on-site paramedic but tragically could not be saved. Victoria Police and WorkSafe continue to investigate the circumstances of the accident. Jockey Daniel Moor said Tait was a dedicated worker who would be greatly missed. "It's difficult to find the words to describe a one in a million person, but that's exactly who Peta was," Moor posted on X. "So dedicated to her job and always so helpful. Constantly putting others before herself. She will be very sadly missed." Tait, a former picnic jockey, has spent the best part of three decades in the racing industry as a track rider and assistant to a number of trainers in Cranbourne and throughout Gippsland. Tait rode 48 winners on the picnic circuit including the 2013 Hinnomunjie Cup. She capped an amateur race riding career with victory in the annual picnic feature, the Cranbourne Corinthian (1200m), aboard Unruly Student at her final race ride on October 11, 2019. Tait has been a registered stable employee since 2006. Racing Victoria chief executive Aaron Morrison extended the industry's heartfelt condolences. "This terrible accident serves as an untimely reminder of the thousands of unsung heroes working in stables each day to provide the best possible care to our racehorses," Morrison said. "Like all within our industry, Peta loved horses and she forged a career working with them, helping numerous trainers prepare their horses as a trackwork rider or strapping them on race day. "Peta made a valuable contribution to Victorian racing over more than 25 years and her sudden passing will be felt by many, particularly in Cranbourne where she was based." Southside Racing chief executive Neil Bainbridge echoed the sentiment. "We are providing support to Peta's employer, their staff and our staff who have been greatly affected by this terrible accident that occurred in the stables," Bainbridge said. "Peta was a well-known and liked member of our community and her absence will be felt by lots of people." The Victorian Jockeys Association joined in tributes and condolences. -

Maher stable runners today…. Warwick Farm (NSW) The wild weather in the north continues, and while today’s meeting is currently proceeding, the Heavy 10 track conditions may see races called off early in the program. At this stage, here’s a look at our runners and tips: Race 6 – Nana's Wish Nana's Wish returns following an impressive win at Canterbury last start. If racing goes ahead, she looks one of the better hopes to handle the conditions. She’s benefited from the early scratchings, drawing into barrier 4, and we’ll look to have her settle just behind the speed and find the best part of the track. The Panel have marked her as one of their Best of the Day. Race 7 – Covert Thinking & Dealt Covert Thinking comes into this off back-to-back wins and has drawn into barrier 8. She’s proven on heavy ground and brings strong form into this. Dealt also returns as a last-start winner but does face a tougher contest here. While untested on track like this, she has shown us nice ability on soft tracks and deserves her chance here. Sandown (VIC) Race 2 – Vienna Vixen Third-up today, Vienna Vixen looks well placed in what is a wide-open race. She was solid last start, and with the claim for Dakotah Keane, she gets in nicely at the weights. She’s fit and well and looks a genuine each-way chance. Race 4 – Cinematic Star Cinematic Star hasn’t jumped as cleanly as we’d like in recent starts, so the plan will be to have her more forward in the run today. The draw and map look favourable, and Reece has her marked as one of his Value Tips of the Day. Race 5 – Jareth & Wallenda Jareth, one of our recently acquired imports, makes his debut after two jumpouts — the latest being particularly impressive. He’s drawn well, and while he’ll appreciate further in time, we’re expecting him to hit the line strongly late and his class may prevail. Wallenda has a tricky draw but has the in-form apprentice Luke Cartwright on board and gets in well at the weights. The drop back in trip looks ideal and if he runs to his best, this race is well within reach for him. Reece has also marked him as one of his Value Tips of the Day. Race 6 – Zoom Zoom will need to lift here but is fit and in good order. With the right run, he’s capable of featuring in the finish, although we’ll need a bit of luck in transit. Race 7 – True To Form True To Form has drawn well and has Hannah Edgley aboard, who’s riding with confidence and claims nicely. The step up in distance and a soft draw should suit, and we feel he’s well over the odds and presents as a good place chance.
