Down on the Farm

I'm at my friend Lyn's house. The kids and I are all in the same room. It's a lovely room. And a lovely place of the world. And Lyn is a proper friend.

I've stayed here a number of times now when visiting Melbourne. The last time I stayed overnight was March last year on Australian Cup weekend. I remember sitting up in bed that night writing too. The drive down today made me reflect on that very trip too. We had a lovely evening and dinner. Lyn is indeed the Spaghetti Bolognese Queen!! And then late tonight I caught up on some artwork and emails.

The kids and I have a busy day tomorrow. Then Friday is more relaxing and we will ride Lyn's horses. We are excited about that!! I haven't had the camera out much this fortnight. But photographing wasn't actually the purpose of this trip. So that is ok. I did take some photos before we left our North Fitzroy house of the kids and the animals we minded. But I haven't worked on these yet. I'll take some of Lyn's horses on Friday though. Just for fun.

I won't be going to Flemington on Saturday because there is a big family function on. The kids and I usually miss out on all of these. But not this time.

Then on Sunday we ask the ever faithful Dan to bear us safely home again. It's a long drive and none of us are looking forward to it. It will be freezing at home when we arrive, with Canberra expecting a maximum of only 6 degrees. It's not much of a welcome home, is it? We have missed Maxie and Freelance though.

The Legacy of Eight Carat: From the Vault Volume I

Image
We have been back in lockdown here in Victoria. Lockdown 5.0 to be precise and as a result it made us go back to feeling like sad sacks.  After having seen off Lockdown 4.0 a teeny tiny bit triumphantly, where we saw off both Delta and Kappa variants (evil beasts that they are - curse you stinky COVID - curse you), we had literally only just gotten back to work before being very suddenly plunged back into Lockdown 5.0 after the visit of those very nice removalists.   'Thanks very much!!!!' we all shouted indignantly!!!!  A key difference with Lockdown 5.0 was that half the country also into lockdown at the same time which made us feel slightly less sad.  The Victorian Government doesn't muck about anymore when it comes to outbreaks.  Their reaction is swift and severe and not at all namby pamby.  I just wish the same logic would be applied to Sydney which continues to deteriorate, much to my dismay.  This week we took our first tentative steps out of ...

Vale Sadler's Wells - champion stallion dies in Ireland.

Image
One of the most important racehorses, and later stallions of our time, the great Sadler's Wells died in Ireland on the evening of Tuesday 26 April 2011.  He died at Coolmore's Tipperary Stud in Ireland, his home since his retirement in 1984.  The stallion was retired from breeding in 2008. His legacy worldwide is immense.  He has left sons and daughters,  and three of his stallion sons, in Galileo, Montjeu and High Chaparral, are leading stallions in the Northern Hemisphere.  In Australia, Galileo and Montjeu had less success, however the impact of High Chaparral was immediate, and immense.  While the horse still has to repeat the success he achieved with his New Zealand bred runners, from which the Group 1 winners, and champion So You Think, were conceived, High Chaparral is still leading the Australian General Sires Title with only a couple of months of racing left. In Europe, Montjeu and Galileo have both sired Epsom Derby winners, in Authorized and Ne...

The physical drain of riding horses

Image
Most people agree that the life of a jockey is a difficult one.  There are a handful that rise to the top, and do extremely well out of the Sport of Kings.  The vast majority however struggle with their weights, and do their best to avoid and/or overcome injury.  Anyone who has ever been pelted off a horse would know that it doesn't tickle!  And of course the older you get, the more it hurts!  We used to fang around on our ponies, bareback, in headstalls and leadropes, never wearing a riding hat.  Completely fearless, and I am sure that on the odd occasion I parted company with my horse, I used to bounce.  In fact I rarely used to fall off, unless the horse came down as well, I guess all those years of galloping around bareback meant my balance and ability to swing my body with the horse was pretty good.  I'd like to say that I could still ride the same, but age and the maturing mind catches up, and you start thinking of the consequences of 'what...
