Episode 581: Coriah Keatings - One of the new wave of gifted Australian female jockeys
The girls have had an extraordinary impact on Australian racing in recent years. A current emerging talent is twenty five year old Coriah Keatings who just recently won her first race at black type level. Coriah, apprenticed to Nick Olive at Canberra has a very impressive 135 wins on the board after just four years of race riding. Born and reared on her family’s farm just outside Albury, Coriah was in the saddle at a very early age and went on to become highly successful in many equestrian pursuits. Her entry into the racing industry happened almost by accident.This is an absorbing chat with a country girl who would have excelled in any one of several sports, but her innate love of horses influenced her decision to become a jockey. Coriah says she’s still on cloud nine after winning her first stakes race on Spicy Lu at Eagle Farm. The young jockey explains the origins of her intriguing given name. Coriah says her early passion for horses was encouraged by mother Kerrin, herself an avid horse lover. She says her father Craig had little interest in racing, but has become one of her staunchest fans. Coriah joined pony club at four years of age and was still heavily involved into her late teens. The 25 year old says she had little difficulty with academic studies but much preferred school sporting activities. The young jockey was all set to enrol for a university course when Covid got in the way. She earned some pocket money at a Zambrero Restaurant in Albury. At the suggestion of a friend Coriah made enquiries about a job with former successful jockey Jodi Bohr who was training horses in Albury at the time. She openly admits to being all at sea when she began riding trackwork. Coriah looks back on two other jobs she undertook, one in hospitality the other in retail. At one stage she was working both jobs at the same time. She recalls an invitation from leading Albury trainer Ron Stubbs to join his team. Coriah says Ron wasn’t in the position to offer her an apprenticeship, but knew of another trainer who was. She looks back on a very happy stint with Donna Scott who became a valued tutor and friend. Coriah looks back on her first race ride. She finished second but believes she should have won. She got the shock of her life after passing the post. She was delighted to win her first race on a horse trained by Donna Scott. Coriah looks back on a relocation to Canberra and the transfer of her indentures to her current boss Nick Olive. The jockey talks of her partner Matthew Kelly, a young Canberra trainer who’s beginning to make his mark. Coriah pays tribute to some of the horses who’ve kick started her riding career with special mention of the Nick Olive trained mare she regards as her favourite to this point in time. She says there’s one member of the Olive team she’s “busting” to win a race on. Coriah speaks fondly of talented mare All Adore and makes mention of two other metropolitan winners she’s ridden for Canberra trainers. She talks of her versatility in being able to use the whip in either hand. Coriah agrees she’s on the tall side as jockeys go, but appreciates the luxury of being able to ride on the limit weight. She clearly remembers two occasions when she came away from the races with winning trebles, one at Cowra and the other at Canberra. It’s a nice chat with one of the rising stars of the female riding ranks.

Episode 580: Andrew Gluyas - Adelaide trainer continues on where his tutor Leon Macdonald left off.
Andrew Gluyas had a huge pair of shoes to fill in July of 2023 when he took over the running of French Cotton Lodge at Morphettville. The stables had been home base to legendary trainer Leon Macdonald for more than four decades. Andrew had been married to Leon’s daughter for five years when he went to work for his father-in-law in 2002. Seven years later he was delighted to formulate a partnership with the veteran which would generate 560 wins up to the time of Leon’s retirement. Andrew got away to the best possible start as a trainer in his own right, when he won the Victoria Derby with Goldrush Guru the following year. The winners have continued to flow. Delighted to have him on the podcast this week.Andrew begins by explaining the origins of his unusual surname. He looks back on his father-in-law’s retirement in 2023, and recalls the freak accident at Morphettville trackwork when Leon was bowled over by a spooky horse. Andrew talks of the 21 year association with Leon that shaped his future. Gluyas looks back on his previous life as an electrical fitter. He speaks of his good fortune in being able to co-train some outstanding horses in partnership with Leon. Andrew pays tribute to astute owner/breeder Harry Perks whose continued support of his stable has been overwhelming. He acknowledges the talents of Dilly Dally and Go Indy Go, two other very good horses he got to work with. Andrew speaks glowingly of Goldrush Guru, the horse to kick start his solo training career. He takes us through that exciting Victoria Derby win not long after taking over the operation of French Cotton Lodge. He speaks highly of the talents of Watchme Win, already the winner of six races. He gives punters a good pointer to the future prospects of lightly raced 3YO filly Bassett Babe. Andrew pays tribute to his three sons and to Sue, his wife of 29 years. The 55 year old trainer endorses the talents of his stable apprentice Taylor Johnston. While on the subject of jockeys, Andrew expresses his admiration for two former Macdonald apprentices who went on to great acclaim. One of them is still going strongly. He looks back on a freakish fall in 2019 which ended the career of brilliant young stable apprentice Raquel Clark. Andrew says he’s delighted to be occupying prominent spots on both the SA and Adelaide trainer’s premiership ladders. The trainer acknowledges the achievements of Terry McAuliffe, his brother-in-law by marriage. Terry was a top Adelaide race caller before switching career direction to become Adelaide racing correspondent for Racing.Com. We couldn’t let Andrew go without some reference to his former passion for the game of baseball. Those who knew him early days remember his achievements for the Glenelg Club. A lovely chat with a man who learned from a master, and is heading in the same direction.

Episode 579: A Tribute to Tobin Bronze- A THOROUGHBRED SUPERSTAR OF THE 1960’S. TALENTED, VERSATILE AND AS TOUGH AS NAILS.
Please forgive my deviation from our usual interview format but the discovery of some very old broadcast tapes has set me upon a sentimental journey and rekindled memories I’d like to share with you. The centuries old proverb “handsome is as handsome does” has never been better exemplified than it was by the celebrated racehorse Tobin Bronze. He ticked every box as a thoroughbred type and endeared himself to racing fans in four magnificent seasons on Australian tracks. His few disappointing performances always came with a legitimate excuse. His finest moments are still revered by those who were around in the days of the horse they called the “Bronze Bullet”. We’ll get back to our usual podcast format next week, but for now I’d like to invite you to join me on a trip down memory lane as we look at the racing life of a deep chestnut stallion who captivated Australia’s thoroughbred lovers in the 1960’s. Sincere thanks to Melbourne historian Dennis Najin who made available Bill Collins’ graphic calls of Tobin Bronze’s wins in the Caulfield Cup and Cox Plate of 1967.
