Reporting on this unhinged military parade for the Orange Supreme Leader, this line from Rolling Stone pretty much sums up the first 145 days of Trump 2.0...

Five-time group 1-winning trainer Robbie Laing has died at the age of 66, passing in his sleep overnight June 7. Laing was at Flemington saddling up what was to be his final runner El Soleado just hours earlier.

Heartbroken to hear of Robbie Laing’s passing.

When I started in racing, he gave me time, insight & more stories than I could count.

Like all of us, he had demons but seeing him back doing what he loved brought a smile. I learnt so much from him.

I’ll really miss you, Robbie.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?
🧵
NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.

Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

Another great day at the races down!

Colac Gold Cup alongside Wattsy & a fun crowd, delivered as always.

Congrats to Tom Dabernig & Beau Mertens, winning the Cup with Picaroon. A popular mare back in form.

This has to be a line in the sand for many of America's allies, including Australia.

Trump suggesting US occupation of Gaza and relocation of an entire population is horrifying.

This is surely the moment for many to take a stand and denounce the move.
Trump: The US will take over the Gaza Strip… we’ll own it

Gotta agree with Ponting here...

Kallis was unstoppable when playing well. An absolute beast 💪

You only need to look at the Liberal Party's FB and coverage by the media to know this election is going to be a flood of racism and some of the grossest criticism possible of anyone against the genocide of Palestinian people.

Being timid and hoping rational argument will win the day is deluded.

Hanging Rock races really are a bucket list event for anyone who hasn't been.

Yesterday, again, didn't disappoint & was so great to be able to be on course for the Racing.com coverage!

One of the great views from the set as well, right amongst a fun and friendly crowd!
