21.01.2022 TBV STATEMENT RE 2020 BREEDING SEASON "The Victorian State Government have assured me that breeding is an essential agricultural activity" - Charmein Bukovec TB...V Executive Officer. Dear Victorian breeder, Yesterday the Premier has announced strict measures to knock COVID-19 on its head. The Premier also announced that racing is set to continue. Since the outbreak began, Racing Victoria and its stakeholders including TBV have been meeting to develop protocols to be able to deal with the challenges COVID-19 may bring. The industry employs thousands of staff and racing continuing is vital for the sustainability of the breeding industry. Many of you have questions about the upcoming breeding season and how it effects our activities, which is only natural. TBV have sought clarification with the Victorian State Government around movements of stock. The Victorian State Government have assured me that breeding is an essential agricultural activity. TBV have been consulting with the Victorian stallion and broodmare farms about what we can do to assist with check points and making the process as smooth as possible. TBV are more than happy to write a letter explaining that your farm requires movement to get your mare covered. This is not a legal requirement but designed to give clarity to those at the checkpoints. In addition, I have spoken with stallion farms and they have confirmed they are more than happy to confirm your booking in writing via email. This will enable you to print the email off, which you can also present at a checkpoint. In relation to interstate covers, the leading freight companies have confirmed that it is business as usual in terms of booking mares on their trucks. Freight companies are deemed to be an essential activity. If you are travelling interstate in your own vehicle with your mare, it is essential that you complete the necessary border permits and comply with the respective states COVID safe protocols. Protocols may vary from state to state and you can find the links to the border permits on the TBV website. Additionally, consider allowing a little bit of extra time for your mare covers. If this means leaving earlier to make sure you get to your booking on time, I would factor it in. Another question, which has been raised is about vets being caught in delays at checkpoints. Last night I spoke with the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) to discuss how we can work with the Government to relieve any delays. Thoroughbred Breeders Australia will also have a guide out early next week, which talks to recommendations ahead of the breeding season. I will share this with you when it is available. It is important that everyone adheres to the Victorian State Government guidelines for COVID-19, which you can find on the TBV website. As always, you can contact me at [email protected] or on my mobile. Stay safe, Charmein Bukovec

21.01.2022 Racing has been part of Tasmanian life for well over 150 years. Were proud of our racing history, and what racing means for our future. 5,000 Tasmanians are em...ployed directly and indirectly in racing, one of the worlds oldest pursuits. Ours is a pursuit unlike any other. It is a pursuit that harnesses and rewards the love, care and awe we have for our animals that are among the fastest species on Earth. It is equal part obsession for the racing animal, sport, business and life-blood of regional communities. We might be the only state in Australia not currently racing due to Covid-19 restrictions, but we will be back. We will be back more determined than ever to show the world that when you race for the love of it, everybody wins. Its why we race. Discover more: https://bit.ly/itswhywerace_tas

17.01.2022 Laminitis Warning We have had a stack of rain in the last 24-36hrs in Victoria. Combined with the heat in the ground the grass is going to go crazy over the c...oming weeks now. So I will do a short series on laminitis prevention and some treatments that we may perform. The aim firstly is to prevent the laminitis developing. Prevention is definitely better than cure. So being proactive rather than reactive is the key. I would strongly recommend making sure you lock up your laminitis prone ponies before it is too late. Equally any larger horses that can get pulses to their feet or hot in their feet we should be proactive in the management of the horse to prevent laminitis starting. In the next in the series we will look at some of the ways to assess your horse for weight and examination of the horse.

Broodmare owners are facing un...precedented times and Sun Stud has acted accordingly in dropping fees across the board, Sun Studs Sales & Nominations Manager, Phil Marshall points out.

Spring will also unveil the first runners for dual Group One winner, PALENTINO whose yearlings sold up to $160,000 and averaged $108,333 in Book 1 at the Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale and have, not surprisingly, found their way into leading stables. 8-time Victorian Champion Sire, BEL ESPRIT again represents tremendous value for a stallion who pushed through the 700 winner mark in 2020. Among the top 20 active sires in the nation by winners, this seasons stakes winners include Admirals Joker and Tactical Advantage, while exciting 2YO, Kisukano has won 3 from 4.

01.01.2022 VALE GRAHAM SALISBURY by Bruce Clark On behalf of the Salisbury family and his great mate -the racing icon Subzero - it is with much sadness that we share new...s of the passing of Graham Salisbury late today. Graham, 76, had been battling prostate cancer over many years (diagnosed 2006), many shared alongside the health battles of Subbie, but today he finally succumbed peacefully with his family by his side in Bendigo Hospital, Subbie back at their Heathcote farm, perhaps waiting for an evening stubbie with Graham and an endless chat. But the dynamic and remarkably unique duo of Australian racing, epitomized in its much broader community senses, never shirked their challenges over this time to deliver so much to so many over a quarter of century together. Graham was even planning a last dance with Subbie as he was facing his own. The inseparable duo he was like a son to me - Graham would say may now be separated physically, but their impact remains ever-lasting and without peer. I remember a stark but now real conversation with Graham that went I hope I go before him because I couldnt live without him, he said. That is how close they were, thats our concern right now. But of course, share a thought right now for Grahams wife Anita, children Anthony and Nicole, brother Johnny, and departed sister Dorothy at his passing. I recall the American sports-writer Red Smith, whose obituaries or eulogies were legendary, because they were so real, like Graham. Writing of a golfing colleague he started: Dying is no big deal, the least of us will manage that. Living is the trick. And that is the simple way of remembering Graham Salisbury. He lived a thorough life, of his own tricks. If you knew Graham, many a chat would start with a pre-cursor like Im here to tell ya and that he would, and he wouldnt care if it was politically correct or who may be offended or even listened, but listen they would or have to Graham was old school, but then so much more, his school taught differently. Though Graham loved a chat, he rarely listed to one, his late life deafness, feigned or otherwise, allowed him such indignations. Graham was nominated for Australian of The Year - Seniors division of Victoria 2019, worthy but never sought and never achieved, but recognized, though recognition was never part of Grahams make up. I once wrote of Graham, by pinching an H G Nelson line, he was as tough as bird poo on the car roof, and still that sits well today and now forever. He may not have taken a personal shine to suits or Spring St, even Epsom Rd at times, but he was as comfortable talking to Prime Ministers (Howard and Rudd), giving them a few tips, and Governors General (William Neale), as numerous kids in schools, the aged in care or the infirmed in hospices. Graham had a quite common touch, though his bedside manner was unique. He was a darling when it suited them - of Sheiks and Supermodels, as much as he was of publicans and punters. And, of course he always had his best sidekick, Subbie, by his side, though Graham would always defer to the star of the show. They travelled the world from Dubai to Crown Casino, feted and feigned and never copied. Of course, his racing life is well documented from clerk of the course, but it is through Subzero that Graham will and should always be remembered, bought him for $1 off connections when he retired and vowed to make him the peoples horse. And that he did with a return on investment insurmountable. Everybody touched by Graham and that relationship with Subbie and community has a moment of recall without hesitation. This tough gruff exterior of a bloke would melt before a sick child as Subbie nuzzled into to more than feign interest but to care and provide solace. This tough gruff exterior of a bloke would stand endlessly before a seas of swarming kids so all experienced a chance to see and share Subbie, many not knowing he was a Melbourne Cup winner, many seeing the big grey and his mate as friends. This tough gruff exterior of a bloke would walk into old peoples homes to share a little light on a shadowed world. And mostly this for nothing but what he wanted to do and to share. This was what Graham Salisbury was about. Giving, never taking. But he would never ask for anything more or took a lot less. I will recall just one here, as Graham often did, at Very Special Kids Hospice in Glenferrie Rd Hawthorn. Graham and Subbie have been friends of my charity Pinchapoo for many years, but the therapeutic value of animals is highly regarded but when it is Subbie it was remarkable he became a VSK favourite. Graham tells this story. Its of a terminally ill girl called Freya. He went up to her and nuzzled her cheek and she had the most beautiful smile on her face. He stayed right there, didnt leave her side for ages. Theres a beautiful picture of the two of them looking right into each others eyes. Freya would pass the next day, but the family wrote to Graham to thank him for making her last moments happy. It still gets me today, he told me, If Id known I would have taken Subbie to the funeral, but that place, Subbie knows those kids, he said. But share your own stories on this page, everybody has them. Subbie of course won a South Australian Derby and a Melbourne Cup before Graham made him the peoples horse. Richard Freedman recalls. What a character Graham was, he didnt do it for himself, he did it for racing, he was a one-off. He made Subbie one of the worlds greatest thoroughbreds, not for what he did on the track, but because of what he did off it and the joy he bought so many people, totally unique, Freedman said. Graham would always pay second fiddle, but without Graham there was no Subbie. There has been no greater bond of horse and human partnership. If there was ever a statue it should be to immortalise Graham and Subbie., Freedman said. David Kobritz part-owned Subbie in his racing career before agreeing to sell to Graham for $1, the best sale and investment ever made he says. What he did for us as owners made us so proud of the horse, and we will be forever thankful, Kobritz said. How do you express it, the way he looked after Subbie, presented him to the public, his true identity for the industry, so remarkable, its all Grahams work. We didnt know Graham when we sold him for a $1 but we were so lucky to find him. He always underplayed his role, he never looked for glory. When he rang for a chat, which would take a time, it was about Subbie, never of himself, a remarkable man. Greg Hall was Subbies jockey but his days with Salisbury go back to an 8YO at Chiquita Lodge at Flemington, when Graham was stabled there. I remember as a young kid needing my teeth done, Graham drove me to the dentist, had them pulled out, he was like a father figure to me, Hall said. Fast forward to what happened, whod have thought. Id pay him a couple of hundred bucks to take me to the barrier just so we could chat, we had a great time but then along came Subbie. But forget what I did with the big grey, Graham was remarkable, they loved each other and there will never be anything like it again. Forget the horse whisperers and all that crap, Grahams rapport with that horse was remarkable, they were inseparable, it will never happen again. Graham told me for a G1X interview one day: There will be plenty of horse who come along like him (Subbie) one day, who you think can do what he did, but there will never be another like him, he said. Racing Victoria respected Graham Salisbury tonight. RV Chief Executive, Giles Thompson, said: This is an incredibly sad day for the Victorian racing industry as we farewell one of our greatest and much-loved servants. Grahams dedication to the sport was incredible and Victorian racing will be forever indebted to him for his service and his great love of the horse. He was one of our longest serving employees spending more than 40 years in the saddle as a clerk of the course, in the process earning an army of friends within our industry. He will be best remembered though for his work alongside his great mate Subzero, together bringing joy to the masses as they toured the community promoting our sport and the thoroughbred. From school children to the elderly, those battling ill health to Hollywood A-listers, racing devotees to everyday Australians, Graham and Subzero touched so many hearts. There will be many a tear shed as people remember Graham and the bond he shared with one of our most famous racehorses, Subbie, the Melbourne Cup winner who soared to even greater heights off the track thanks to the incredible love and dedication of Graham.. Please happily remember your respects for the Salisbury family but also share your thoughts for Graham and Subbie as they would wish. PS: re attached picture of Graham at Very Special Kids is when he was there with Curtis and respect to his family.
