Just WOW!!
101 years ago today Irish jockey Frank Hayes rode at Belmont. The horse, a 20/1 outsider called Sweet Kiss was to be his last.
Hayes died in the latter part of the race and his body remained in the saddle when they crossed the finish, winning by a head.
He is the first, and so far only, jockey known to have won a race after death

I recommend having a nice cup of herbal tea whilst listening to & watching this epic from Procul Harum "In held 'twas in I". It is simply breathtaking. At the 4.14 minute mark your t-shirt quote is put in context: "Write it down, it might be read. Nothing's better left unsaid." As WestsTigers supporters we live in hope that our team plays like those men from 2005 - "Pass that ball it might be caught. We might score a try or the score is nought".
Germany just leveled up public transport with a futuristic twist.
Meet the Coradia iLint—a hydrogen-powered train that runs on clean energy and emits only water vapor. No smoke, no pollution, just ultra-efficient zero-emission travel. Built by Alstom, these sleek machines are replacing diesel trains on non-electrified routes across the country.
Each train can run up to 1,200 km on a single tank, making them perfect for long-distance travel without the carbon footprint. Thousands of tons of CO₂ emissions are being wiped out yearly thanks to this move—and it's just the beginning.
Germany isn’t just riding the rails—it’s leading the hydrogen revolution.
The future of travel?
It’s clean, quiet, and absolutely green

Australia has a golf course that spans/crosses over 2 states!
Nullarbor Links
The Nullarbor Links concept is unique. The 18-hole par 72 golf course spans 1,365 kilometres with one hole in each participating town or roadhouse along the Eyre Highway, from Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to Ceduna in South Australia. Each hole includes a green and tee and somewhat rugged outback-style natural terrain fairway. The course provides a quintessential Australian experience and a much-needed activity/attraction for travellers along the renowned desolate highway.
