This is why racing is the greatest sport!Asfoora is the pride of Australian racing this morning. From a maiden victory at Colac to Group 1 glory at Royal Ascot. It is the stuff of dreams. Trained by Henry Dwyer, the boy from Melbourne who now calls Ballarat home, who studied to be an accountant but his passion and love of the horse and punt meant there was only one profession for Henry.

Dear racing,I already loved you with all of my heart before the weekend, but wow, you were something else on Saturday afternoon. In fact, it started Friday night and I will get to that later on. But on Saturday afternoon, you gave me goosebumps like never before, you made me smile, you made me cry, you gave me an afternoon I won’t ever forgot for many reasons. Pride Of Jenni, did you see her? She delivered the most remarkable performance I have ever seen, she proved that the impossible was possible.

My understanding is that Gillon McLachlan is close to signing. It’s taken him a little while to be persuaded to take on this role, if he does, as Chairman of Racing Victoria. It’s been the talk since Brian Kruger left that role, that Gillon McLachlan would actually be a perfect replacement. Mike Hirst has been the interim chairman and he’s about to depart the Board at Racing Victoria, along with Greg Nichols.They’ll vacate their positions on June 30.

Sanctions are an increasingly-used tool in geopolitical disputes. The flurry of international sanctions from the US, EU, UK and others in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine demonstrated that punishment aimed at a nation's economy and trade is now viewed as the first port of call by a number of States and international bodies.

If I had to take a punt right now and weigh up all the evidence, then I have no doubt… Imperatriz is off to The Everest. I can’t see Peter V’Landys having one of the best sprinters in the world hailing from New Zealand not accepting an offer in the world’s richest sprinting race. You can’t market it as Australia’s second biggest race if you have a Kiwi galloper, owned by a New Zealand syndication company, knocking you back. It’s a race of dreams, the people’s race.

On Wednesday, the greatest jockey this country has produced announced that he will be retiring at the end of the Perth carnival in December. It’s the right way for 'Ollie' to go out, just like Frankie Dettori has done in Europe this season. Racing fans will get the opportunity to say goodbye and celebrate a career that is second to none.
