It did not go unnoticed that Andrea Leek was wearing a beige pantsuit.
Maybe this is the lucky trainer colour??

Cox Plate race call, "It was written in the stars"
Not sure if Matt Hill had that line written down but "Stars" are Cosmic and the favourite Aeliana has stars on her silks. So had it covered.
JUJA KIBO - The naming is very Makybe Diva- ish. Richard O'Brien was the horses original Irish trainer.
What an amazing run this guy is on! He's named after 4 of our lads. Juliet, James, Kitty and Bob. @cmaherracing
