First Horse RIding Falls at TAFE 2012 [03:00]
This is the Certificate II in Racing (Stablehand), where the students have to ride everyday as part of the course. This particular day was wet and the genious idea to try bareback riding for the first time was highly ..... um ...... anticipated!! Most of these riders have only been riding for the past 4/5weeks in the course and some have hopes to move onto track riding and/or even a jockey. Needless to say this was a fun day and provided a great laugh! The fantasic horses Brermuda abd Indy did fantastic job at giving the students their first falls off a horse!!! One of the best days of the TAFE couse yet!!

Kentucky Derby a Rematch for Top Contenders [01:04]
Hansen was there, edging out a hard charging Union Rags. Dullahan ran, too, as did Daddy Long Legs, Creative Cause, Take Charge Indy, Alpha, Optimizer and Prospective.The same horses are expected to line up again on Saturday in the Kentucky Derby, just six months after the Breeders' Cup Juvenile on the same Churchill Downs track set the stage for the Run for the Roses.While no horse has distinguished itself as a clear-cut favorite ahead of the post-position draw on Wednesday, as many as nine horses who'll start Saturday also participated in the premier race for 2-year-olds."When you look back at the race, it was a key," Union Rags trainer Michael Matz said. "And, a lot of those horses have done well. I think this is a pretty competitive crop."
