🏇 Three runners across three states today — heavy, soft & soft! 🌧️
Remember to bring the umbrella ☔️ or the gumboots 👢 It’s looking like a wet one!
Good luck to all our owners and connections. Here’s hoping our trio don’t mind getting their feet wet! 💙💛

Another big weekend of racing, headlined by two Group contests.
Following his excellent runner-up effort behind the eventual Melbourne Cup winner in last month's Geelong Cup, Small Fry gets another opportunity to land a major prize when he contests Saturday's Group 2 Zipping Classic.
Meanwhile, Athabascan heads across the Tasman with his sights firmly set on the Group 3 New Zealand Cup.
Watch the preview below for the full rundown from the team.
Getting ready for the clash of the harness titans at 4.18pm.

Really the end of an era if Tim Lane not calling footy next year. One of the very best over the last 50 years.

•VTR generated $7.4 billion in domestic wagering turnover, which was estimated to be at least 15 per cent ahead of any other Australian racing jurisdiction, despite a strategic reduction in race meetings and broader macroeconomic pressures. Turnover on the 2025 Melbourne Cup was more than six times higher than any other race in the nation;
•1.17 million people attended Victorian race meetings throughout FY26, with more than 600,000 people attending the 2025 Spring Racing Carnival, an increase of eight per cent since 2023. Victoria again hosted the four highest-attended race meetings in Australia, with growth in attendance among women and younger racegoers an encouraging trend;
Today’s release of Racing Victoria’s 2026 Annual Report has confirmed RV’s return to surplus, while reaffirming Victorian Thoroughbred Racing’s position as the nation’s leading racing product, with the state again home to the most watched, wagered and attended race meetings in Australia throughout the Financial Year ended 30 June 2026 (FY26).

Going to be a long summer with these later racing starts.
First race at 3.40pm on a Wednesday and 3pm on a Thursday is a crime against humanity.
Need to give the people running the show a chance to get to bed on time. Time for some common sense @RacingVictoria

Fair to say Luc Longley was probably never destined for the jockeys’ room. 🏀🐎

“There are no huge music acts during @Ascot, but nearly 300,000 people visited in a record-breaking year.
“Getting on for 240,000 people went to @CheltRaceEvents for this year's Festival and similarly there were no international super stars playing or singing there either.
“You know what, if you are balanced Britain is actually doing a great job.” 🏇🕺 Yeeehaaa!

This should shut up a few people who say Melbourne racing is not doing well.
Good work to everyone who attended.
Now if we could just get the cost of beer down from the $15 it is now, asking for a friend of course.

Flemington carnival by the numbers
@cwallerracing won 21% of all races, including 4 of the 8 group 1s
@mcacajamez dominated with 6 winners, while Snitzel scored 2 G1 winners!
One of 🇦🇺 highest priced stallions I am Invincbke had NO WINNERS from 13 runners!
The irony of racing!
Tony & Calvin McEvoy had the Golden Gift won in Sydney for great prizemoney until from the clouds comes the Hayes team and nails it with Act Up! Great Lindsay Park history going way back in time.
Team Hayes then grabs the 5 Diamonds, big day for the Vics⭐️
