Easter time in Sydney means the Royal Easter Show and, here at Royal Randwick, the greatest show on turf. . . Hello and welcome to San Miguel Doncaster Day. This afternoon we’re telecasting seven races with an absolute fortune in prizemoney up for grabs. (20)

In January this year Queensland jockey Alan Cowie was left a quadraplegic as the result of a disastrous race fall. Last Sunday, following the Golden Slipper meeting, the leading jockeys swapped their silks for one-day cricket pyjamas in a fund-raising fixture. It was Australia versus New Zealand at Kensington Oval, an invitation all-rounder we just couldn’t resist. (20)

It’s half time here at KPN Oval, and the game is at an absolute stalemate. It’s 28 points a side, and let me tell you, both teams have given it everything they’ve got.

The scoreline hasn’t changed in the last 11 minutes, and that’s really a testament to the sheer determination of all the players.

Yes, I have the score update… it’s a little hard to believe though – try 84 points to 6. Just incredible. Not so hard to believe though – is which team is on 84.
4c
Well… I don’t think I could take any more surprises.

We’re expecting the fans to be out here in force today. It’s beautiful weather, the bureau is predicting 24 degrees, so really it’s just perfect. No injuries for either team, and they’ve both got a lot at stake as far as the finals are concerned. It’s going to be a fantastic afternoon of football. (15)

Amazing stuff. And fans of the great Gerry Junior will be pleased to know that he is just about to launch his own website. We’ll actually catch up with him next week to find out what that’s all about. (15)

I think you might be refering to the streaker we saw earlier. I tell you – that guy was proof of how cold it is here. You’d have to be crazy.

I’ll give you a quick rundown on the stats. The fastest lap, 2 minutes and 12 seconds – that’s just one second off the record, so these guys are really going fast today. The time separating the top eight, just 3.6 seconds, it’s really close. And you see that even back to the last qualifier – its only 9 seconds all up. That’s a very tight field. (20)
