Sir Delius as a stallion going forward If he wins the Cox Plate what will he be worth as a stallion. Being a West Aussie Comic Crusader's dam line littered with black type.

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!

I have no love for JD Vance but the way he explained that makes sense to me. We here in Australia having have big debates about visa for workers for jobs most Aussies don't want to do such as Fruit picking.

Five of the eight winners at Friday night's Launceston meeting were graduates of the @mmsnippets Tasmanian Yearling Sale. With the 2027 sale set for Quercus Park on 15 February and around 100 yearlings expected to go under the hammer, Tasmanian racing's future looks bright. @TasBreeders @TasracingAus atthebarriers.com/2026/10/17…
