Steve Telfer at Cambridge race 2 trained all horses in the race, is he trying to catch up to Ben Yole in Tasmania? Only difference is that the horses in Telfer's barn are a very handy lot indeed.

Huge disappointment for all at Shepparton tonight when an electrical fault brought the Neatline Homes Shepparton Gold Cup meeting to an abrupt halt. That fault resulted in one of the light poles catching fire.
Stewards had no option other than to abandon the meeting when the electrical contractors advised the issue would take a minimum 2 hours to repair with no guarantee of a good outcome.
The club appreciates the understanding from industry participants and those who were in attendance.
The previous race was able to be run with just enough daylight

The Stewart stable cleaned up in SA last night, to add to its TAS plundering a month ago. At least they only took the big 2 and left the rest to the locals

Trivia(l) questions.
Went to Wedderburn Cup yesterday. Told it the 2nd oldest (continuous) trotting club in Australia. Hot and humid but great day out. Being one who loves talking to people who've been about longer than me and wandering old racetracks, I liked the collection of pics on the wall.
So here's some trivia questions... (Noel Ridge will know all the answers already).. Google may help with 1....
1. Wedderburn the 2nd oldest trotting club in Australia was told yesterday. Which club is Australia's oldest continuous trotting club?
2. Gyressa won the Wedderburn Cup in 1978 as per pic. Kev mentioned her in a post in 2014 on here re Bettor Downunder. What is her other 'Claim to Fame' ?
3. Who is the gentleman (was a Wedderburn resident) in the other picture?
Question 1 - Isn't Google wonderful:
