I mentioned spelling mistakes and the floodgates opened re. people conducting a 'Media Watch' role on my behalf:

First email relates to a Greg Irvine penned article "Records Rewritten as Exalted Time Scores a Local Adelaide Cup Win" that appears on the Cyberhorse site:

"Boom Victorian stayer Tubular Bells was beaten for the first time today but lost no admirers when he finished second to local stayer Exalted Time in the Group One Skycity Adelaide Cup (3200m) [...]

The three quarter length victory saw a number of new records set in front of a massive crowd. Winning rider Clare Lindop became the first Australian woman to win a Group One race. The winner's time of 3 minutes 29.15 seconds was also a new best - beating the previous course record of 3 minutes 25.89 seconds held jointly by Harlem Town and Demerger. [3:29.15 secs is actually a lot slower than 3:25.89!]

"I'm very proud to be able to be the first female to do this (win a G1), but I don't wants to wave a feminist flag," Lindop said. "I think that any horse sport is the athlete and they don't make any difference between filly or colt or gelding." [Can anyone decipher this quote?!]

The next is from Breeding & Racing's Daily News.

Domesday Retired To Woodlands

Woodlands Stud principal Bob Ingham also announced the retirement & syndication of 3YO sprinting colt (& last season's Gr2 Silver Slipper winner) Domesday (Red Ransom-In The Past, by Zafonic). Woodlands general manager Trevor Lobb commented: "Domesday was a brilliant 2YO who met & beat 8 Gr1 winners including Stratum, Snitzel & Undoubtedly ... Domesday (a $420,000 yearling at the 2005 Inglis Easter Sale in Sydney) was the highest-priced Red Ransom to be purchased through public auction ... He finished 5th in the Gr1 Golden Slipper (Australia's premier juvenile race) after beginning slowly & suffering trouble in running."

... One assumes he wasn't purchased at the 2005 Easter Yearling Sale given he was racing in the Golden Slipper in the same month!
