    Oh indeed! Bubbles is yet another special person. In many ways the “soul“. And a snitch as it were, but loveable. Just a magnificent show. For me in the two best ever drama shows. The Sopranos is the BeatleS; The Wire is Bob Dylan. The two epics of drama tv. Then follows with some...

    Interesting view point. i actually really liked season 2. i think I enjoyed the circling of sharks and the back biting to regain some control.

    Movie: The Irishman. its very long, but my kind of mafia style movie. not too bad but you just know De Niro, Pacino, Pesci have all aged. the new technology makes them younger but they don’t move young. still not a bad movie.

    Vikings the last season is dropping SBS on Wednesday. looks to be two sets of 10 episodes to complete the series. whilst not the same without Travis Fimmel’s outstanding Ragnar, still worthy to watch.

    No penalty for Hotham winner. As such the above should be the final field on correct order (assuming they all elect to pay up which is the usual ad this juncture.) Good luck all; very Japanese for me.

    Begins with the breeding. Many breeders go for the sprinters as it’s a quicker turnaround time to get them to the races, quicker return for owners (or at least know if they might be ok or not so good). Starts from there. Great irony, The Everest aside, the biggest money is for staying races...

    The Japanese in the Caulfield Cup looks a nice prospect. Excellent form. They usually do very well staying wise. Only needs a top 8 finish to qualify for the Melbourne Cup and with its weight would hence be a certain starter. Mer De Glacé Maybe I over like the Japanese but they seem very...

    Should add the Group 1 in Sydney, the Spring Champion Stakes looks a nice feast for the favourite, Shadow Hero. But watch for a nice strong run from Quick Thinker on his way to the Derby. Likes the track wet and will served this. Nash Rawiller in the saddle.
