What has gone wrong with racing? Rain - and the races/trials are postponed which in every case means abandoned. Heavy tracks are safer than every other type, they go slower and there are less accidents. They race in Europe and NZ on much heavier tracks. The cost of abandoned meetings is very real - money out of all our pockets. It is winter.   We have all become mindless marshmallows. Racing should toughen up. @racing_nsw

He was wonderfully mischievous, sometimes controversial, but always entertaining. Barry Humphries was remembered at a state memorial at the Opera House, as a cultural icon, a genius and pure magic. 7NEWS.com.au @tayloraiken_ #7NEWS

Norm’s sister moved onto flash stockhorses & Norm stuck to sheep & cattle. He didn’t have the same passion for horses as the rest of the family.
