BRUCE McAVANEY TO CALL THE MELBOURNE CUP! One of Australia's most respected sporting broadcasters, Bruce McAvaney, will return to the race-calling microphone for this year's Melbourne Cup on Triple M. McAvaney's remarkable journey began in 1976 when he met Adelaide race caller Kevin Hillier during a visit to Victoria. His first race-calling assignment followed at Mindarie-Halidon in South Australia in 1977, before making his first on-air race call for Adelaide radio station 5DN at Oakbank. Nearly 50 years later, and following his recent induction into the South Australian Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame, McAvaney is preparing to call Australia's most famous horse race. 🎙️ A legendary voice for Australia's greatest race!

Mainland Success for Tassie Stallions Tasmanian-based stallions Squamosa and Alpine Eagle continued their winning form on the mainland on Saturday, with both represented by winners in New South Wales. Squamosa, who stands at @Broadmarsh_Stud, was represented by Quasimoto, who saluted at Forbes, while @Armidale_Stud Alpine Eagle added another winner to his tally when his daughter Kasuma Goddess scored at Albury in just her fourth career start. The results provided another boost for Tasmania’s local breeding industry, with both stallions continuing to produce winners beyond the state.

Congratulations to Tassie's own Taylor Johnston who rode her 200th winner on Saturday at Morphettville.
