A reminder the 64th annual RACING MASS is on this Sunday, 9:30 am at St Francis Church, corner Lonsdale and Elizabeth Street, Melbourne. Everyone is most welcome to attend!
Rest in Peace after an extraordinary 41 year journey Ricky.
Vale Elvis ‘Ricky’ Thurgood
Racing Victoria and the Victorian Jockeys Association would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the Thurgood family following the sad news of Ricky’s passing. racingvictoria.com.au/news/2…
If there was betting on this, it was going to be at Black Caviar odds ($1.03) our leader was going to run with this line at some stage during the Olympics! 🤷♂️ But, don't forget ... "it's not a race" 🤔

And this was the best leader they could give us... dear oh dear!
MUST WATCH! Morrison, exactly 1 month ago today! Not a race. No need for further vaccine doses for NSW. Commends Premier for not locking down and for relying on contact tracing. NO INSIGHT, NO URGENCY, NO IDEA! #scottymustgo #auspol #NationalEmergency
Auditioning for a spot on Sky After Dark 🤷♂️
"Don't come near me!" NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller interrupted by bearded man claiming to be the creator of the Earth. #nswpol
If you want 9 mins of genuinely great content & positivity on Twitter, watch the work done by Equine Pathways Australia, Julia Battams and her horses here with a very special range of star quality riders. @mrc_foundation @MelbRacingClub
If you ever asked yourself “Why does the @mrc_foundation do what it does?” This is why. BYO tissues. Keep doing what you are doing Equine Pathways Australia.

This is something that is completely worthwhile doing on a Thursday night.
Friends, we have new hope for Priya and her family. Media are reporting that Immigration Minister Alex Hawke is considering allowing Tharni to apply for a visa. Please, can you tap bit.ly/EmailtheMinister
to email Mr Hawke, thank him for taking this step and -
And that would seem to sum it up.
This child is almost 4. Almost her entire life has been behind wire. It’s a level of cruelty so bewildering, but it’s happening in contemporary Australia, at obscene taxpayer expense. When will enough of us decide that torturing kids is not part of this country? My 💜 Tharnicaa

Very proud to have been asked by Tye and Erin to assist TTF achieve its goals. Hope I can make a really positive contribution! @TeamTyeFdn
@DanTehanWannon in a train wreck on @InsidersABC giving every Australian hope that we too have the talent to be a Morrison Govt Minister
WATCH: David Speers asks @DanTehanWannon whether the federal government will offer any support to locked down Victoria now that JobKeeper has expired #Insiders #auspol
Well said Terry. David was a genuinely wonderful friend and a great support to so many SA Jockeys. I know he will be very sadly missed by all in the SA riding ranks and throughout the industry.
S Leckey is a living legend!
Drawing on his determination and strength to recover from a race fall where he nearly lost his life, Scott Leckey is an inspiration to all who meet him and his passion for racing has never waned. bit.ly/3hQsz2F
Big well done to you Liam. I found you a talented & impressive young bloke with a very bright future ahead as a Victorian jockey. Big 12 months ahead as you establish yourself as a senior in the Victorian ranks. All the best!
Tomorrow is my first day as a senior jockey. I’d like to thank my masters @MickPriceRacing @cmaherracing @MaluaRacing for your advice and experience helping me develop during my apprenticeship. Looking forward to future opportunities as a senior jockey that can ride light.

Always so proud of our Victorian Jockeys who show such special respect and understanding of those heroic men and women who have served our country in times of conflict.
Got an email this morning from QANTAS this morning asking me to ring them. Right now, some 03:15:11 hours later I am still on hold. Does anyone have Alan Joyce's number please? Might ring him direct to see what's up. 🤷♂️
Your a champion Shawn. Can be sure RSN will have one extra listener tomorrow at 5.30pmto hear you. Great to have you back on the Vic airwaves. 👏👍

Many of my former members (Jockeys) who've suffered life-changing, permanent & debilitating injuries have been eligible for NDIS. Why is it the most vulnerable & easy targets are continually hammered by Morrison & his team? #HandsOffOurNDIS
Another week, another NDIS scandal showing the Morrison Government wants to steamroll through cuts. Read the story and see for yourselves. #HandsOffOurNDIS
