As shuttle stallion numbers in Australia reduce, breeders looking to access the world’s strongest bloodlines are turning to shuttling mares back the other way. @hele_t reports. thestraight.com.au/broodmares-wit…
The brutal nature of racing politics in Australia of late speaks to the importance of principal racing authorities and racing clubs having both a strong, independent board and a knowledgeable and accountable executive, writes @streetruffian. thestraight.com.au/andrew-joness-…
Toronado, at $88,000, heads @SwettenhamStud’s six-stallion roster in 2024. thestraight.com.au/swettenham-ros…

''Jumpers teach you a lot. Anyone can really get a horse fit, but a jumper, there are no shortcuts, you have to put the ground work in. It teaches you patience and planning. I just really enjoy them." @cmaherracing on his most enjoyable challenge. thestraight.com.au/patience-and-p…

The Autumn Sun’s trifecta in the Australasian Oaks puts the @ArrowfieldStud resident in a fight for second-season honours with the two other standout racehorses of his stallion crop. This week's Run The Numbers, sponsored by @inglis_sales. thestraight.com.au/run-the-number…
For @cmaherracing , a trainer with 43 Group 1s to his name, Warrnambool's May Carnival holds a special place. He told @micklynch57 how no other race gives him as much of a kick as winning the centrepiece of the three-day meeting, the Grand Annual. thestraight.com.au/patience-and-p…

The active stallion career of Fastnet Rock has come to a close, with @CoolmoreAus confirming that the two-time champion sire has been retired. thestraight.com.au/coolmore-calls…
“It’s a good question,” says Olly Tait, considering if it was ever his destiny to breed horses up to the Tait family name. Horses like Baguette, Tie The Knot, Zanbagh and now Australasian Oaks fancy Wings Of Song. thestraight.com.au/wings-of-desti…
“We wanted to ensure with expenditure in the billions of dollars that there was room on the board for persons with the appropriate skills to manage such a significant amount of money,” - Peter V’landys on meeting with the government about the ATC Board. thestraight.com.au/racing-nsw-lob…

@TheStraightX Very few horses sold at the pre RA meet actually run at that meeting.
Yarn I wrote for The Straight on a novel idea that might have been a real point of difference in the Melbourne Cup lead up..
Fresh ideas, such as holding a tried-horse sale ahead of the Melbourne Cup, seem to come easily for Barry Pang. "The idea was to have it at Flemington, so people who owned horses in the Cup could either put up their horse or shares in that horse." thestraight.com.au/from-kung-fu-t…

@richardfdillon @TheStraightX Thanks heaps wordly - bren and the team have set the bar high. Bren, Warwick, Lynchy - all the team - are very good at what they do
Partial self interest aside can I suggest racing fans have a look at @TheStraightX - fresh and independent.
@TheStraightX Amazing character de Kock. Get a feeling we will be seeing a lot more of him in Melbourne which means turnover will be up at joints like @attheemerald

Piece I did for old colleague Bren O'Brien, now establishing himself as publisher/editor of new influential and opinion shaping racing website, The Straight. Saudi Racing attracting Australian officials - will it be to Oz racing what Hong Kong was in the 80s, 90s and beyond?
As Saudi Arabia (@JCSA_Racing) emerges as a major influence in global racing, a host of Australians are at the heart of the action, including veterinarian Toby Koenig. The former chief vet in NSW and SA spoke to @MichaelLynchy about his new role. thestraight.com.au/koenig-the-lat…

@TheStraightX @FinPowrie Have a read. Fin has some interesting insights. And thanks to “The Straight” for the opportunity.
The horsepower on the track at Albert Park this weekend may be different from what we will see at Moonee Valley or Rosehill, but the importance to the wagering industry of a Formula 1 event is arguably greater than that of a Group 1 race.thestraight.com.au/trackside-bett…
