Back here, top jockey Leith Innes had a win on his first day back riding yesterday.  He had been off the scene since he broke a couple of vertebrae in a nasty spill in early August. Great to have Leithal back doing what he does best.

Great news.
* * * Good luck tonight (well tomorrow) Katie Lee! Time for me to disply some stupidity and ask something I've been wondering about... why isn't she running in the Cox Plate?

That does help, thanks.
I'm still sure she's a champion.It's just a shame that she chose to have that race today, when so many were seeing her for the first time. She didn't make a great first impression. By contrast, this is the first time I saw her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr7CJvzMmPQ

* * * This is silly but I wanted to show you this. Batch 6, 2nd place finisher. He hasn't really don't anything yet... swimming and trotting, trotting and swimming and a gallop about every 3rd or 4th day... so here's his first barrier trial. I never claim to be good at reading these things but to me he looks like he's out there having fun. Nice and easy. (If it doesn't take you right to it click on the drop down menu to Oct. 19th).

Have you heard any news about his nemesis, Military Move? His Derby win was amazing, and I'd love it if he did NZ proud up there. It's hard not to like him.
