In his usual no-nonsense manner, Haub snr said: "Listen, this is no holiday ride, the money's on."

"The tune-up didn't do any harm," Cameron said as he weighed back in.

Go Joeli's dam Marguax is a half- sister by War Hawk to Caulfield and Melbourne Cup winner Doriemus.

Shaun Clotworthy says he is too busy to stay down for today's Kumara races and the Herald caught up with him late yesterday waiting for a flight home.

He said the chances of his four horses at Kumara, Miss Biennale, Lambo Man, Timo'shanter and Asworthy would improve if further rain fell.

"The rain that washed out Saturday's races didn't really eventuate to much at all.

"They probably could have raced on Saturday.

"Unless it rains the track will be quite hard. The weather was fine when we left there this morning."

David Walsh reckons Kiwi Hussler has finally worked out what the racing game is about. It took a while.

The 6-year-old will be having his 54th career start when he goes around in today's $30,000 Vernon & Vazey Kumara Gold Nuggets.

These two neck warmers are made from a pattern I loved so much that I bought it on Etsy for five dollars.  They're made with bulky yarn which I made by knitting with two worsteds together.  The buttons came off of an old jacket.  I love the texture of the seed stitch and the big cable.  This knits up quickly with gorgeous results. This one is also a modified version of the mistake rib neck warmer.  Super easy, since all you...
