MAKYBE @MakybeS

5 months ago

Australia has lost a true icon. Three time Melbourne Cup champion Makybe Diva has passed following a sudden battle with colic. For 27 years she was loved by owner Tony Santic and adored by a nation. More than a racehorse, she was heart, history and pride in motion.

@dr_stevejackson @atTheTrack7 @loomsboldly Good point, I just remember him slipping the field. He looked so lonely without a crowd in attendance. Have to be honest never looked at the time.

@dr_stevejackson @atTheTrack7 @loomsboldly Did he run well in that race or did the rest of the field just ‘let him’ win. Other Derby winners like Pour Moi, Antony Van Dyke, Masar, also fit the bill.

@atTheTrack7 Loads of Derby winners fit this, Anthony Van Dyke and Pour Moi spring to mind

@BussyKeaton I liked Sinners but it did feel a bit like an improved, period version of Dawn till Dusk

@CaptSpringbok I don’t think SAF and ARG in 6 nations would work, but a tournament in June/July with top 2/3 in 6 Nations playing SAF/ARG and one other might work.

@BergmarkStig1 Putin has used Chemical weapons and atomic weapons to assassinate people in the UK. You think we want a criminal like him to win in Ukraine to move on to the rest of Europe?

@DizzyJB Feels to me that the outcome of this will be a greater awareness of Tourette's across all countries.

@CCHRoberts @simonrug @TEnglishSport That’s a terrible take, rugby is a game of quick thinking and exploiting opponents weaknesses. That’s what happened here. Great rugby, if the opponent isn’t ready that’s their fault.
