My horses jockey was asked by the stewards why his mount raced so slowly ? And his response was " he didn't want to tire himself out as he has an early morning milk run tomorrow"

It might be said to be the race that stops the nation but not for long.
About a minute after the race finished my phone rang with the Red Cross making a query about a blood bank donation. The nice lady said she was sorry to trouble me and I didn't have the heart to say can you hang on a sec while I listen to Damien Oliver.

Yep!
