Yeah, extremely careless. Hopefully he'll learn from that.
I had such a fun day at the Avondale trials today! Beautifully sunny day, and I can walk there from where I live. Viadana, Brave Centaur, O'Marilyn, Little Wonder and Prince Mambo all ran really nice trials, and there were some impressive efforts from younger horses as well. Exciting time of year.

How awesome! I would be thrilled to see those horses in person!
Ed I've been wanting to ask your thoughts on the whole David Walker debacle but wasn't sure if that would be appropriate or not with your new position. Anyway would love to hear how it's all going over over there... if you cannot or don't want to comment I understand!

It's a terrible thing to do if the allegations are proven - grossly unfair on the owners and trainers of the horses he rode.
But I also don't like the head to head bet. It can be exploited in the way Walker allegedly did, and it could also lead to horses being pushed and ridden aggressively even when they're tired and out of contention in a race.

In more positive news, the first 3yo stakes races of the season on Saturday!
Nice fields. I'm going to be closely watching Niki Piki Milo and Avisto in the Fillies Stakes and Eletist, Hilarious Honour and Bel Sorriso in the Guineas. But I'll be working at Ellerslie on Saturday - the big jumping races there. Not a huge fan of jumps, but there are some other nice races on the card there too.

Thanks for your insight re the jockey stuff and yea, there are indeed (some nice fields on Saturday). I will weep tears of joy if Postman's Daughter wins!

Finally catching up... nice to see that both Fix and Weissmuller won.
I see that Wattle Bay is back (on Wednesday).Been a long time now... had he been injured? Any idea?

Great performances by both. So happy to see Fix back in top form. Very nice stakes win by Avisto as well.
That's a good question about Wattle Bay! Hasn't raced since October last year. I'll see what I can find out.
