There’d arguably be few horses trialling better in Sydney in recent weeks than Group 1 winner Globe (NZ) (Charm Spirit) but co-trainer Mick Price is wary a drying track will make him vulnerable first-up at Rosehill on Saturday. A somewhat surprise winner of the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes back in the spring, Globe and stablemate La Fracas have been sent north in the hope Sydney has one of its wet autumn carnivals and they can strike. Price, who co-trains with Michael Kent Jnr, said all options are open for Globe beyond the Group 2 $300,000 Hyland Race Colours Ajax Stakes (1500m). “I haven’t got a specific race for him but he’s in Sydney to capitalise if you do get a wet track, somewhere between a mile and 2000m,’’ Price said. “I don’t reckon the Doncaster will suit him, unless it was a wet track. He’s going to be nominated for just about everything and we’ll think on the run depending on the weather. “He’s going super, he’ll give plenty of cheek but his chances improve on a wet track.” Globe, $4.80 with TAB on Wednesday, has won both his trials in Sydney in the past few weeks and put four lengths on Vivy Air (Hellbent) in the latest over 1200m last Thursday. He passed a stewards gallop on Wednesday morning, the result of some blood being found in a nostril after he hit his head when going into the barriers in that trial. The seven-year-old has come up with the outside barrier in the Ajax though that less a concern to Price than the track conditions. “He’s a good beginner, he’s a big 17 hand horse who propels himself forward out of the gates,’’ he said. “Being out there won’t harm him, he’ll work across, I hope they don’t keep him out. “If the track is a good 4 he’s probably going to be a bit vulnerable. “He’s no star but he’s in Sydney for the wet tracks and the right races and hopefully we can be right time, right place, which we have been with him in the past.” He was in the right place at the right time when winning that Caulfield Stakes, Price saying in the small field Blake Shinn was able to get control and caught the likes of Treasurethe Moment (Alabama Express) and Buckaroo (Fastnet Rock) off guard. Price is enthusiastic about how Globe is working and trialling and he can only expect a solid showing first-up noting he generally improves with a run. View the full article

Darn so we won’t hear about the Broadster dancing in his lounge as a dog hits front as of August. 

what . There wouldn't be a paid job going where an employee could view pornography on work equipment.  would be grounds for (summary) instant dismissal as is a case of serious misconduct. (yes the brothels get away with it I spose )   Of course a 'dismissal procedure' must be followed to avoid any 'Unfair Dismissal ' claims by some gold seeking lawyer , just as in other serious misconduct issues under employment Law such as Theft, physical violence, Gross negligence or serious insubordination. they are not worthy of keeping on staff at any business . unfortunately in this day and age the legal system  is full of claims of serious Sexual harassment. It seems to come in all shapes and forms these days that lead to all sorts of issues. Staff seeing someone with pictures on a screen of a sexual nature,  is not only Very poor taste, terribly poor ethically, but also a type of harassment to those that know it's going on, and would effect productivity and co-operation in the workplace.  It is incredibly easy to prove from the hard drive.  Dismiss them instantly. 

You obvuously have no understamding of employment law.  

Wrong on all counts.  You are as bad as @curious reading what you want to read as opposed to distilling the facts. You make the assumption he tried to hide it.  What if he wasn't asked?   In any case what was he hiding?  That he watched porn on his office computer? If you are talking about your post then not "clever" more salacious innuendo unbecoming of someone of intellect. Given both you and @curious haven't yet identified the core issue with the case I can say that neither of you would meet your expectations of an RIB Stipe.  Now what does that highlight?

Chief Mickey Mouse?

Hahaha, and its name was Mickey

Fair point. I probably should have said that I don't think involuntary exposure such as this is fine in any avenue of employment.

Never heard it called a lizard before, maybe a chameleon lol
