- A year ago Natasha Faithfull was air lifted to hospital with shocking injuries after a horse stomped on her. 12 months on she wins Mungrup Stud Sprint on her home track. Resilience, courage and persistence. #mungrupstudsprint. #albany
- Oh lord, how special Ihtsahymn. Back to back Darwin Cups. Take a bow Rob Gulberti and Peter Hall. #darwincup
- Amelia’s Jewel has avoided any serious tendon injury and critically her joint is not septic. Stitches required for cuts and she’ll spend a day or to two recovering at vets. Simon Miller says they dodged a bullet. @TABradio @TAB_touch @TheRacesWA
- Further to Brad Rawiller news from yesterday. He will relocate to WA for immediate future. "I would dearly love to establish myself in Perth riding ranks and move the family across in the New Year. I am extremely focused and serious about the move West." He said in a statement.
- Respect Tony greatly but until the Everest attracts 100,000 people on course, can be staged weekday on a public holiday and have the majority of the country stop for 2 min to watch A horse race it's the Melbourne Cup for me.
- The proudest parents in Australia. Bernadette and John Zahra, celebrating the Melbourne Cup win of their son Mark. @TheRacesWA @TABradio @TAB_touch @PerthRacing
- Gut wrenching for Dan and Ben Pearce. She was suffering mild colic on and off since Monday and under surgery they discovered an inoperable growth. 6 wins and 11 placings from 21 starts and a touch over $800,000 in prize money and bonuses. Quality mare. RIP.Terrible news out of Perth with quality mare Angelic Ruler passing. Thoughts with all concerned at Pearce Racing
- There has been plenty of social media talk concerning William's ride on Arcadia Queen in Underwood. Hear his thoughts directly.It's been a big 24 hours for the Wizard. He talked through a few of his rides moments before setting off from Caulfield Racecourse today...
00:00 - After 39 years veteran broadcaster Dave Sheehan has decided to hang up his binoculars. Well played Dave on a terrific calling career. Kalgoorlie and Esperance won't sound the same. You go out on top! #Kalgoorlie #Esperance #racecaller.
- 1/2 Our thoughts and prayers go out to jockey Damian Miller who was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer earlier in the week. For the moment he plans to continue riding but understands there will be a period of absence in coming months.
- Pike v Parnhan yesterday in Cup elite. Even more so was how the victor post race didn't oversell the win. Humble, gracious and respectful. Class. #perthcup
