V'landys' pitch comes less than a fortnight before the running of Sydney's $14 million The Everest, the world's richest race on turf.

"If you are really interested in the national racing scene, don't give us diatribe. Look at it and if there is a better pattern, they should act instead of being critical all the time thinking they have a monopoly and attacking the other states."They [VRC] should look at it as a national industry. They shouldn't look at it as a Victorian racing industry. I don't think the way it is at the moment is of benefit to the Victorian racing industry let alone the national industry.

V'landys has aggressively added rich events to Sydney's racing scene - including The Everest and the $7.5 million Golden Eagle to be run on Victoria Derby day for the first time next month - to reinvigorate the NSW industry.

Does anyone except for people working in the media give a toss about the supposed Sydney/Melbourne rivalry?

Melbourne Cup 2017 trophy stolen from cafe in Melbourne's north-westThe cup was won in 2017 by horse Rekindling, part-owned by Diggers Rest local Mark Ruff. The replica trophy, valued up to $15,000, had been on display at Mr Ruff's local cafe for two years. I’m not sure what’s more astonishing here, probably the fact Diggers Rest has a cafe! 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

Should make lots of friends that way hey DanielAndrewsMP? John Laws , Australian Radio ..may like the ' Fortress ' sign..

Instead of attending the climate change action to scream, cause unnecessary disruption & blame governments, l planted 3 trees in my backyard yesterday & swept the footpath outside my house to clear it of the rubbish and butts others throw, so it doesn't end up in the waterways. klimateklowns Finely a death cult for atheist middle class drones.
