Taylor Adams looks to have reinjured his hamstring vs Southport in the VFL. Tragic run of injuries for TA #sydneyswans #bloods

A big day for Skyhook when our boy contests the G3 Fred Best at Eagle Farm. I am sure we haven’t seen the best of this 3yo colt yet and looking forward to him making a statement on Saturday. #stallionmatch

You can see the drunk on power and blind belief in socialist ideology growing every day. An absolute zealot.
You don’t accidentally arrive at higher taxes, wealth redistribution and hostility toward investment. The ideology was always there. Anthony was always hiding his true intentions from the public…

This is exactly how many parents with young children feel.
SBS Insight right now getting a rude awakening from ordinary Australians who now see the bigger picture to snuff out and replace Australians. Albo, Australians have CHANGED THEIR POSITION on Uniparty sellout of Australia. You’re Fired.

The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour….
Remember when Albo LIED about those stage three tax cuts. #INSIDERS Jim Chalmers was sent out to blather and expected to get away with that NOW they have LIED AGAIN and spinning like a top. He is calling it 'changing his position' #AUSPOL Labor LIARS

Worth a repost since SMH followed their normal routine & tried to bury this article as quickly as they posted it. I live for the day when they post with conviction & stand tall so they can prove “they are the only media outlet that have covered all these issue from go to wo” 🤣
And here we all were thinking that our State regulator would be doing everything they could to help their main club flourish but instead it appears they are now starving them in order to assert control. It’s time @BradHazzard1 - This can’t go on! smh.com.au/national/nsw/turn…

Yet another egregious waste of industry funds that should have been distributed towards the betterment of the the racing ecosystem. When he loses the defamation suit against Vicky Leonard and The Thoroughbred Report in coming months, that will score it 0/3 for Mr Vlandys in the last 5 years (the ABC defamation suit being the other). That must surely be enough rope 🪢

If you're able to help Vicky - no matter the amount - you'll be standing shoulder to shoulder with good racing people against everything that is wrong with the current administration.
To my fellow breeders, trainers, owners, and horse racing industry participants, My professional life has been devoted to the thoroughbred industry, driven by a purpose to help strengthen its future. I co-founded The Thoroughbred Report (TTR) with Gary King because this industry deserves its stories told well - and its leadership examined openly. Without transparency, there is no growth, and without accountability, there is no future. In November, TTR published what we maintain was a measured analysis discussing a simple governance question: Is a 21-year tenure as CEO still serving the best interests of our industry? Our story is now the subject of Supreme Court legal action for personal defamation by Mr V'landys, CEO of Racing NSW. I want to be very clear: our article was not defamatory of Mr V’landys. It was an objective discussion of tenure and governance, published squarely in the public interest while the NSW Government is actively reviewing the Thoroughbred Racing Act. We will be defending this claim vigorously. But defending a Supreme Court action of this scale is not something one person can shoulder quietly - and it comes with significant financial cost. Which is why I need your support. Silencing the media for asking uncomfortable questions is not acceptable. It suggests a leadership structure that has become resistant to any scrutiny or debate. This is textbook “chilling effect”, where participants feel reluctant to speak openly for fear of consequences. The NSW Parliament itself cautioned Racing NSW only months ago about conduct that may discourage scrutiny. It is deeply concerning that this behaviour is allowed to continue unchecked. To suppress a valid, objective discussion about CEO tenure - a cornerstone of accountability in any organisation - is a clear failure of governance. I am speaking out because many others feel they cannot. I am standing for the trainer or jockey who fears professional consequences for expressing concern. I am standing for breeders whose integrity was publicly accused in the parliamentary inquiry. And I am standing for an industry I love - whose resources are routinely being used to fund costly litigation. Racing NSW is currently engaged in Supreme Court proceedings against the ATC and has previously funded defamation litigation for Mr V’landys. When asked whether Racing NSW is funding this personal defamation action, Mr V’landys did not deny it. Every dollar Racing NSW spends on legal action is taking away from trainers, owners, participants – as well as equine welfare, infrastructure and the future of our sport. NSW industry governance has consequences beyond NSW. Through the structure of Racing Australia, it is a national concern, affecting participants across the country. Because the Racing Pattern underpins the international bloodstock market, it also has global consequences. I am prepared to defend this action, but I need your help. Defending a Supreme Court action of this scale is designed to be prohibitively expensive - a strategy of attrition. I have established a dedicated legal defence fund to ensure we can respond properly. 👉 gofund.me/fe0b46710 Whether your contribution is small or significant, your support helps ensure that accountability and open discussion remain part of our industry’s future. I am going to defend this case because the principle matters. This fund has been established solely to meet the legal costs of defending this proceeding and to ensure that accountability and open discussion remain part of our industry’s future. With gratitude and determination 🙏 Vicky Leonard

Worth every dollar!
I've done a terrible job of advertising Form King Lite since it launched in October. If you're a keen racing fan or punter/participant, but maybe only have time to look into the form once or twice a week - give Form King Lite a look. There's an insane amount of gear for $95/month, no lock in. Single State Pro is also available for $165/month. Get the full Pro dataset for 1 state, and the real kicker is it falls back to Lite for all other states. formking.com.au
