      Those ones you're talking about are just drinking & partying at the races , where are the game changers? Where are these talented young trainers you speak of who aren't attached to the cloth of someone already established in the industry? I have no gold left I'm afraid,  well I can possibly put the odd gold coin on one of your many runners, but you'll have to let me know at least a week in advance.

      Wellington a fabulous place for racehorses then Chief. Should of given him a race start to thrill the locals.😎 Great pictures on his ship you posted Chief 👍. was just reading a funny story where Phar Lap not only had a sand roll on the ship as well, but used to Jack up a bit  when Tommy wasn't around so Tomm had to eat in the Bosuns cabin so the horses could see him , and sleep beside his stall as well. I would think it is the human that has the 'Connection' issues and not the horse, but that's what they say anyway. Have never found a smarter horse than any dog myself. But I guess if you're a famous in history one , the stories become elaborate.

      SOUTHSIDE RACING ACQUIRES EQUINETRAIN FACILITY AT PAKENHAM TRAINING CENTRE Share Article Share on Facebook Share on X Share with email Share link     Southside News   Sep 02, 2025 Southside Racing is pleased to announce the acquisition of EquineTrain, a privately owned, state-of-the-art racehorse training and rehabilitation facility that currently services local and visiting trainers at the Pakenham Training Centre. The facility will be rebranded as the Southside High Performance Centre and operate under an enhanced model, designed to further strengthen Southside Racing’s commitment to delivering world-class resources for participants, horses, and the broader racing industry. The Southside High Performance Centre will provide cutting-edge services to prepare, revive, and treat racehorses at every stage of their campaign - whether gearing up for competition, recovering from intense track work, or rehabilitating post-injury. With water walkers, high-speed treadmills, cold spas, and spacious day paddocks, the facility is designed to optimise equine performance, and Southside Racing are actively exploring innovative new therapies and technologies to further enhance horse welfare and recovery. Neil Bainbridge, Chief Executive Officer of Southside Racing, said: “This is an exciting step for Southside Racing. The Southside High Performance Centre will give all trainers and their horses access to the very best in training and recovery, enhancing the standard of care and performance across our racing community.” General Manager of Racing, Alastair Dwyer, added: “The acquisition allows us to build on the already outstanding reputation of the facility, while expanding opportunities for local and visiting trainers. It positions Southside Racing as a leader in equine performance and rehabilitation in Victoria.” Further details about the Southside High Performance Centre will be announced in due course.
