Sad to hear our favourite caller has called it day after several decades of slip ups behind the binoculars… unfortunately he couldn’t get the photo finish wrong in his last race
This thread could also be the James Cummings Godolphin Farewell Tour
The first month of winter with many cultural delights
The remains of Queensland Derby day
The Stradbroke and other Group 1s
The Oaks & Derby at Epsom
Royal Ascot
And the cultural delight that is the Ipswich Cup
October has arrived, the peak of Spring racing is about to begin, and the extra week before the Melbourne Cup makes it a bit different this year, namely the Kosciuszko and Caulfield Cup being a week apart for the first time since 2018
Other than that, don’t forget to set your clocks forward so...
What a great set of racing on New Year's Day
The worst edition of the Perth Cup in years, a race that had already long gone to shit
Flemington for the Bagot + Chester Manifold
The Burrumbeet Cup
The Inverell Cup
The ageless Longford Cup
....

My biggest interest for this month is to see who can better handle the 2400 when it comes around
Incentivise in the Caulfield Cup
Or the Andrews government with Victoria’s daily case numbers
Ah yes, the fabled decadence of the Warrnambool carnival returns for 2021, complete with the Sherman Piss-Tanks making a comeback on the hill
On another note, I didn't even notice they'd announced the Racing Hall of Fame inductees... If it means anything
Horses: Tie the Knot, Beau Vite, Red...
Scraping the bottom of the barrel for a thread title this month... Wayne Hawkes Analyses Your 3-Year-Old’s Stud Value was a bit too long
Anyway, apparently there’s some kind of All Star Mile this month!
I thought it was very rude of the WA Government to wait until AFTER Princess Jenni got on the flight to Perth to announce that they were raising the border with Victoria again
