The Champ Point of Law has left the building! Been some ride and all of us here at WIHC wish him the best in his future career with @cmaherracing
Cup fav Point of Law having his final hit out at @werribeeracing before tomorrows @Lexus @FlemingtonVRC Melbourne Cup with @Brown_ethan8 up.
That’s brilliant Trent. Not sure why so many people want to nay say our great race. It’s ours. And it’s great.
📰 For those wondering what the Melbourne Cup means, or questioning if it's lost its significance, today I spoke to the breeder and owner of So You Are, Stuart Ramsey. Unbeknownst to me, when I called to chat for a story, Ramsey didn't know his horse had made the field. When I told him, he was reduced to tears.
"I can't believe it. You breed and race horses all your life, hoping to get a runner in the Melbourne Cup. It's a dream come true," he said.
Onya, Stuey 💪
Great to see the old boy enjoying his time at @LivingLegendsAU
I couldn’t come to Melbourne and not call into @LivingLegendsAU to catch up with the hero that is Twilight Payment aka Twiggy. Thanks to Andrew and Adele for being such great hosts. Keep watching until the end for the most Aussie scene of all time! 😂
