RACEHORSES AUSTRALIA"Where Horses are the Heroes"
Welcome everyone.
In a world of diminishing coverage of thoroughbred racing we will try to buck the trend by producing a daily 'what's happened and about to happen' in racing.
Backed up by our successful Facebook, or META, Group page, RACEHORSES AUSTRALIA -boasting 124,000 plus members as at September 2026, we'll take a look at the best aspects of the game - from raceday to breeding to good old fashioned history and crowd favourites.
As far as the politics and administration of racing goes we'll leave that to someone else - it's simply boring and takes the fun out of the game.
So, here goes. Edition Number 1 brought to you by Kristen Manning and Vin Lowe.
Remember the date - 10 September, 2026.

Mr Brightside has managed to crush the best horses in the land while winning the Makybe Diva Stakes (G1) for the last 3 years. Back for a 4th attempt he is up against current Cox Plate favourite Sir Delius and the rising star of the turf Sheza Alibi. The recipe is a little different this year - regular partner of Mr B Craig Williams has 'jumped ship' and will ride Sir Delius - and won't it be satisfying to cheer Blake Shinn on Mr B back to scale should they salute. This race is a cracker and not to be missed.
