Never heard a roar like it! Started at the 700m and just continually built. Truly great experience. #JapanCop

Fitting the biggest crowd there's been was there for maybe the best ride the track's seen.
Derby Day 20 years ago 📷 Track record crowd of 129,089 saw the mighty grey Efficient (M.Rodd) win for trainer Graeme Rogerson. #gothegreys.

Annual Victoria Derby yarn looking into the pedigrees of the runners looking for clues at who might stay (and who won't). FWIW, been Team Skua for a couple of months now and not alighting that train now. King Winston best roughie. racingandsports.com.au/news/…

Victoria Derby - Who’s bred to stay? @bradbishop12 has again trawled the pedigree pages to look for clues to which of this year’s Derby field might be best-equipped to run out the 2500m of the $3m Group 1. racingandsports.com.au/news/…

What about 1300m maiden at Bendigo as a spring form reference! 🔥 Got 4 in the Derby - True Rebel, Written Empire, Murshidi & King Winston - plus one in the Wakeful (Fringilla) and an Oaks chance (Salann). #NurseryOfChampions

First to do the Bletchingly/Cox Plate double. First in 55 years to do the Lawrence/Cox Plate double. Maldivian the only other Cox Plate winner in the last 35 years to even run in the Lawrence. Goes to show how hard it is to stay up so long. What a champ!
Huge effort by Cosmic Crusader to be up and winning a Bletchingly & Lawrence Stakes so early in the spring period, adding a Turnbull, doing a Caulfield Cup run into Cox Plate and winning. That’s a proper old school preparation that you don’t see deliver often these days.
