Just Enjoy
Derby Day and Cup Day ( call them what you want) is pure Heaven for most race horse
followers. The hours of study most of you will do with the form guide is all thrown out
the window when the excitement of the day takes over. There are so many distractions
even for the most discipled punters with the Flemington fashion on all of Cup week ( the
Bird Cage and the Corporate marquees ) and its certainly getting bigger every year. The
saying was “the race that stops a nation” could certainly be changed with so much mas-
sive International competition and press now to “ the Race that stops the racing world
“.The Trainers, jockeys and owners that are made instant legends by winning “the Cup”
is certainly life changing for most of them in many aspects . Good luck to all this year
that have made it there, but nothing wrong with never stop dreaming your day on that
stage will come . Congrats to “The Reds” on winning the FFA Cup Trophy for 2018.

A great young local talent Brennan Cox has certain-
ly found his feet in Western Australia playing for
the Fremantle Dockers in the AFL .Brennan who
was pick 41 in the 2016 National Draft was original-
ly from Woodville South not that far from his
family’s Land of Promise Hotel on Port Road at
Hindmarsh. Drafted from Woodville / West Torrens
Brennan was a rising star nomination this year and
can play as a tall forward or back any time during a
game giving great flexibility to any side. To cap of a
very good season Brennan won the 2018 Beacon
Medal that was presented at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. I am sure both
the Crows and Port have been watching closely and would be keen to lure Brennan home
when the time right.
Talk about coming home Danyle Pearce is returning to his club Sturt in the SANFL. Danyle
was recruited to Port Adelaide as a Rookie in 2004, making his AFL debut in 2005. After 8
years and 154 games for Port, he signed with Fremantle Dockers in 2013 and played an-
other 104 AFL games. A career total of 258 AFL games, averaging 20 games per season.
Chris Thredgold ,Sturt Football Director said ““Danyle brings pace, skill, experience and
so much more. A great signing for the Club.
Two AFL games on Good Friday next year includes Port playing West Coast in Perth.
The Annual South Whyalla F.C. Derby Day Rendezvous at the Morphettville racetrack this
Saturday upstairs in the general admin area ( near a bar somewhere) is bound to be as
big as every other year . The stories about 60 metre goals and the giant hanger that
North Whyalla’s Snapper took over South’s Crip, etc will only get bigger as well.
Footnote—from last week’s T.A. Hotel C.C. function how did we forget Kenny Crane.

 Australia's performance with the bat in the
three Twenty20 games versus Pakistan in the
UAE were abysmal and they were quite rightly
beaten comfortably in all the games. No one in
the Aussie top even went close to playing well.
Aaron Finch was out of sorts, D'Arcy Short
looked out of his depth, Chris Lynn was exposed
technically and Ben McDermott ran himself in
each of the three games. Generally the batting
against spin was weak and lack a plan, other
than to slog or block. On a brighter note, Round two
of the Sheffield Shield saw some batsmen put their hand
for selection for the first Test against India on December
6. Former WA and now Victorian opener Marcus Harris
made 250 versus New South Wales at the MCG, and as
one of the more consistent players in Shield cricket, made
a further case for Test selection. He has also made two
ton in separate Shield Finals which will have been noted
by the National Selectors.
Jake Weatherald played a gritty and unfashionable innings of 69 v Queensland last week in just over four hours, batting in my
view in a fashion I've not seen before. He put away the flashy shots, concentrated hard on defence and looked like a batsman
who wants a Test spot.Shaun Marsh had a good match double for WA v Tasmania in the west, which may help save his Test
spot. Whether or not it should at 35 years of age is a different question. Do we put trust in him to have a fine summer at
home, like last year against England, and then take him to Ashes in England in 2019 for him to fail again. I'd rather risk a
younger player and have him fail instead. The upcoming ODI series (exclusive to FOX SPORTS) against a quality South African
attack will help us find out more.
Finally, my take on the recent review that has come out. Nothing I read made me feel that the bans for Smith and Warner
should be reduced. They are responsible for what they did and penalties should stand. The recently re-appointed Mr Peever
should go and whoever decided to he should get the green tick for three more years prior to the announcement of the re-
view findings, should prompty follow him out the
door.

Morphettville Chatter
You would have to be totally deaf if you have not heard
Raquel Clark’s name mentioned in the last few weeks.
Raqeul is apprenticed to Leon Macdonald and Andrew
Gluyas so she has had to earn her stripes there, but all
for good reasons when you look at her results. Rachael
rode a high five hand of winners at headquarters last Sat-
urday
Tuesday mornings jumpouts produced plenty of high dra-
ma and a timely reminder of this high risk danger sport.
The warm weather has seen quite a few stables head to West Beach in the mornings.
Interesting discussion about the Wednesday’s Advertiser RSPCA report to push for
tougher laws and higher penalties regarding all animal cruelty cases.
Everyone loves a genuine Melbourne Cup tip and the Morphettville “ Dicky Bird “ tweet
was “ look out for Finche “. Hmm Finche is currently 25s for the Cup after a nice Geelong
Cup trial and trained by inform trainer Chris Waller.
Further chatter was regarding Richard Jolly’s colourful tie that he wore successfully to
the races last Saturday, you can never get enough bright colour at Adelaide races. Track
rider Shaun Cronin rode 19 horses at track work one morning. Plus talk about the form
reversals the local Stewards team of Night Owl bowlers that are currently undefeated
this season and in red hot form on Tuesday nights at the Novar Gardens Night Owls
Competition that comprises 18 very competitive teams.
Clare Lindop called into trackwork for a quick coffee before getting back on the cam-
paign trail in her quest as a candidate for the Seacliff Ward with the Holdfast Bay
Council. Clare’s election flyer is on https://www.facebook.com/Clare1Lindop
Triple Crown Horse Racing’s mission is to create a community where

 If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you
would have produced enough sound energy to heat
one cup of coffee.(Hardly seems worth it.)
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months,
enough gas is produced to create the energy of an
atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it
pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.(WOW)
A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.(O.M.G.!!!)
Is that why they are always squealing?
A cockroach will live nine days without its head be-
fore it starves to death. (Creepy)
(I'm still not over the pig.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories
an hour.(Don't try this at home; maybe at work.) The male praying mantis
cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex
by ripping the male's head off. (Honey, I'm home. What the f..?) The flea can
jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a foot-
ball field.(30 minutes. Lucky pig! Can you imagine?) The catfish has over
27,000 taste buds.(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)Some li-
ons mate over 50 times a day. Time to join Rotary.(I still can't believe that
pig....quality over quantity.)Butterflies taste with their feet.(Something I always
wanted to know.)The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. ( interesting)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
So I wonder if Dolphins know about that Pig !!
