  1. 96C090C9-16CA-48A3-BE13-2FD9B54C1ECA.MOV Here’s another video of the reaction of the crowd once the Queen crosses the finish line for the final time.
  2. Short stuff looks like he’s wearing an old curtain Ohokaman! I think he needs my friend Colin back home to style him.
  3. Nice one Gary! I managed to crack an hour for the Run4Kids (12.8km) over here last weekend, my first competitive run for a long time after being off for a couple of years with some knee soreness. I started next to Bill Shorten (the next Aussie PM). That was his 12th Run4Kids! Go the Warriors! Here’s another video of the Queen in the parade ring (not sure if I can upload a video though). 5CD50FC9-AEDD-4C88-AEDA-FE055854F476.MOV
  4. That was a huge day Gary! Remember Lee Freedman’s victory speech? Flemington is also a way better racecourse for the reason you’ve already mentioned. They had to cap the crowd at 42K today. Ridiculous! If her final race had been at Flemington they would have easily got over 100K there to send her off. That being said it was very well organised today. They did a great job.
  5. Richo short stuff! He’s a top man and was a very good sprinter back in the day (won the Stawell gift). Bad luck with Consensus but you must’ve been happy with Felaar. A magic day on course. One I’ve never forget.
  6. Such a good day Ted! Peter Vlandys did a magnificent job with every single detail taken care of right down to the models he hired carrying signs of all her Group 1 victories. Still can’t believe that’s the end for her. Lots of young millennials on course today that are really none the wiser as to the significance of the day. We will never see another one like her (that’s what I said after Black Caviar) but I can’t see another horse dominating like she has for as long as she did. Thanks for the memories.
  7. Thousands I’d imagine. The lines for souvenirs were a mile long all day. They did however give away racebooks at the end so they must’ve budgeted for a fair few those.
  8. Eminent was very disappointing Red Rum as was Dubhe I thought. McEvoy redeemed himself with a good ride on Classique Legend today after butchering him last start. There was a promising horse called Tarwin who won well at Caulfield today too.
  9. The fairytale ending Gary. Was the perfect day (apart from Eduardo). I did feel better after learning Sean Bartholemew was down 15K for the day though with no winners! Can’t believe it’s finally over. Kudos to the owners for retiring her at the peak of her powers. It’s been an absolute pleasure to witness the Queen. Will wait with baited breath to see who the first arranged marriage is with.
  10. A lot of his ex horses have exelled since. Camp View won well in Melbourne yesterday.
  11. Time to have a lash on the class horse at Caulfield today. Go Eduardo you good thing!
  12. Me too. Thought she’d struggle to run a strong 2400m but she proved me wrong. Good tough, especially after pulling her head off in the parade ring. Classy filly. Bring on Mystic Journey and the Cox Plate.
  13. She’s already pulling her head off and they haven’t left the parade ring yet.
  14. If I wanted to be that far away from the horses short stuff I would’ve stayed in Melbourne. Go Classique Legend!! K Mac is back!!
  15. Good luck Red Rum. I would love him to give her a real contest today.
  16. I thought it was your 4th wife short stuff? Still batting above your average I see. How good is it being here!!
  17. Peter Tighe looking very dapper today is a striking pin stripe suit. When I asked this guy below if he has something rehearsed he replied “if she wins....He’s Eminent is a big chance of spoiling the party.
  18. He’s been in form lately this boy. Cost me $1300 on Wednesday!
  19. I do like the parade ring at Randwick though.
  20. I think your stylist has gone a bit overboard this time short stuff. I prefer the Moonee Valley “Salvo’s number”.
  21. What a poorly designed city this is. I can’t believe I lived here for 6 months. Scrambled eggs are better designed than this city. Melbourne - one train direct from Flinders to Flemington. One train direct from Flinders to Caulfield. One train direct from Flinders to Moonee Ponds (with a short 5 min walk to the Valley). In Sydney you have to deal with this! (Train to Central, then queue for a bus that takes forever through the Eastern Suburbs) Sydney will always be Melbourne’s poorer cousin.
  22. She’s blowing like a gale Ernie from $1.60 out to $1.90. The smart money is coming for Frankely Awesome who’s in from $6 to $4.80 and now that the cloud has burned off expect him to shorten even more. Verry Elleegant will start in the black.
