What an unbelievable sad time it is for many Australians at the moment. The floods in Queensland and NSW and now right here in Victorian are gut wrenching to watch. Many thousands of families are affected and I truly hope that things quickly turn around for all of them.

Many in the racing industry have been forced to watch as their farms and possesions have been washed away in the flood waters.

Thankfully we are still racing in Melbourne. I am slowly getting back into routine again after my holiday and will be riding at a number of meetings in the coming week.

I am riding plenty of track work and the trainers know i am back in full swing.

A special hullo to John "Rumpole" Tannahill in Wellington. Thanks for your continued support.

Take care
