Promising youngster Towering Vision crowned a successful couple of days for Windsor Park Stud when he credited resident sire Circus Maximus with his first Southern Hemisphere black-type winner
The farm graduate claimed top honours in Saturday’s Listed Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre Stakes (1400m) at Te Rapa a day after the farm hosted another top edition of their annual Rugby
Towering Vision is a first crop representative of Galileo’s triple Group One winner Circus Maximus
“This is the time of the year you want to be doing it with this type of stallion
Ha’penny Hatch was stakes placed the previous weekend
and this is what we really want going into the breeding season,” Windsor Park’s Rodney Schick said
was scratched and he’s an exciting horse and then Rufus will also be running in the Champagne Stakes in a couple of weeks as well
“It’s really starting to happen for Circus Maximus
Towering Vision was offered by Windsor Park at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale and Te Akau’s David Ellis purchased the son of the unraced Iffraaj mare Qiji Vision for $105,000
I bought him from a client as a weanling,” Schick said
“The Circus Maximus’ are not really bred to be out and out two-year-olds
but you want to see them start to operate at the back end of the season.”
The weekend was kick-started by Windsor Park’s Riccarton Sale
“It was fantastic and we sold all 10
highlighted by the filly that went to Ben Kwok for $100,000,” Schick said
sharp filly and very much in the mould of Sword Of State.”
She is a daughter of Sword Of State and the Charm Spirit mare Paper Dragon
a sister to the Listed Ryder Stakes (1200m) winner and multiple Group placegetter Pacific Dragon
“That was our fourth sale and we’ve taken 40 horses down there and sold them all
so it’s been a great clearance rate,” Schick said
Steve Davis again auctioned off the lots with a pair of high-profile guest speakers complementing the occasion
“We had All Black legend Kieran Read come to speak as well as Will Hayes from Lindsay Park
and what an outstanding young guy he is,” Schick said
“We had a great day and a lot of fun
the weather turned it on for us at the end after the weather bomb
so it all went to plan.” – LOVERACING.NZ News Desk

Transport for NSW is proposing to remove the right turn from Windsor Road into Landscape Street and Windsor Road
Map showing proposed no right turn from Windsor Road into Landscape Street
Community members and residents from Landscape Street have expressed their concerns about the crashes that have occurred at the intersection of Windsor Road and Landscape Street
Windsor Road experiences heavy traffic in both directions
with between 1400 and 1700 vehicles in each direction during morning and afternoon peak times
Right turn crashes at the intersection of Windsor Road and Landscape Street have resulted in serious injuries with cars waiting to turn right onto Landscape Street being struck by a southbound vehicle travelling towards Northmead
Traffic turning right across heavy traffic travelling through this intersection
combined with high vehicle speeds and high level of vehicle movements increases the risk and seriousness of crashes and injury
Remove the ability for road users to turn right from Windsor Road into Landscape Street

JSW MG Motor India is all set to bring the Pro version of the Windsor EV to the Indian market tomorrow
the model has been spied completely undisguised
revealing key details of the upcoming all-electric car

What is also speculated is the ventilation function for the front row
other features are carried over from the standard version
Under the floor, the MG Windsor Pro will feature a bigger 50.6kWh battery pack with a claimed range of up to 460km on a single charge

The 21-year-old was assisted from Gosch’s Paddock midway through the Demons’ session
with GM of AFL Performance Alan Richardson providing an update
“Judd will have a scan on his hamstring this afternoon
which will give us the full picture,” Richardson said
Jack Viney will be on a modified training program this week due to injury to his rib
who was absent from the session with a personal commitment
sustained damage to rib cartilage late last week and has subsequently entered the rehab group
The injury is expected to sideline him for Melbourne’s match simulation on Friday at Casey Fields
“Jack copped a knock to his ribs in a tackle last Friday
with scans showing some damage to his rib cartilage,” Richardson said
“We allowed it to settle over the weekend and pleasingly
“Jack will continue to work through his rehab over the coming sessions
which will give us a greater understanding of his availability for our upcoming practice matches.”
Youngster Caleb Windsor has also been forced to the sidelines with a skin infection on his foot
The 19-year-old has been managing symptoms of late
with the Demons confident it is now under control
as it has taken a couple of days to get on top of the infection
We’re confident with where it’s at now though,” Richardson said
we expect Caleb to re-join the main training group by the middle of next week.”
Christian Salem and Jake Bowey were also absent from Wednesday’s session due to illness
Melbourne will welcome fans to Casey Fields this Friday

Windsor Park have announced their 2025 stallion fees - Leading European 2YO and Champion 3YO AUGUSTE RODIN, the latest addition to their stallion roster, is oversubscribed at an introductory fee of $30,000+gst.
A six-time Group One winner, including at two, AUGUSTE RODIN trained on to become a Champion 3YO, winning both the English and Irish Derby’s. His quadrella of Group One victories at three also included Weight-For-Age wins against older horses in the Irish Champion Stakes and Breeders’ Cup Turf to become the only 3YO in history to secure these four championship Group One races in his classic year.
Following his record-breaking classic season AUGUSTE RODIN added the Group One Royal Ascot Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at four to his spectacular CV.
Hailing from the final crop of 11-time Champion Sire and global influence DEEP IMPACT, AUGUSTE RODIN’s female line is no less esteemed with his first three dams all being Group One performers at less than a mile.
Like AUGUSTE RODIN, fellow Ballydoyle superstar PADDINGTON will shuttle to Windsor Park Stud again from Coolmore, Ireland for his second Southern Hemisphere season.
PADDINGTON proved an instant hit with breeders in 2024 covering a full book with in excess 100 mares being tested in foal.
The brilliant miling son of SIYOUNI and four-times Gr.1 winner is again oversubscribed at an unchanged fee of $35,000+gst.
Windsor Park’s highly successful sire SHAMEXPRESS has enjoyed a breakout season in 2025 with his Hong Kong-based son KA YING RISING, the world’s highest ranked sprinter leading the way.
The brilliant KA YING RISING has swept all before him in the dominion with a raft of world-class winning performances including three at the elite Group One level.
As well, SHAMEXPRESS’ tally of stakes winners this season has been bolstered by Group winning racemares Grinzinger Belle and Blue Sky At Night together with the success of leading Singaporean stakes winner Lims Saltoro. Accordingly, SHAMEXPRESS will stand in 2025 for a fee of $20,000+gst.
Commencing his third season at Windsor Park is the very popular PROFONDO, a handsome, Gr.1 winning son of DEEP IMPACT and Redoute’s Choice’s precocious 2YO Group winning daughter Honesty Prevails.
A $1.9 million sales-topping yearling, PROFONDO has proved extremely popular with breeders serving in excess of 350 mares in his first two seasons at stud.
PROFONDO has an impressive first crop of foals to represent him and will stand again for a fee of $17,500+gst in 2025.
The same fee of $17,500+gst applies to Champion Miler CIRCUS MAXIMUS who will record his fifth season at Windsor Park in 2025.
With a 2YO Group One performer already in his first, 2024, European crop and with his first Australasian 2YO’s impressing at both the trials and on raceday, the signs are ominous for this dual Royal Ascot winning miler.
Heading his first 2YO’S to race in Australasia are unbeaten Australian filly Ha’penny Hatch who has bagged a brace of metropolitan wins and is slated to start in Listed company this weekend while his other performers include metro-placed Rufus, Towering Vision, Miss Parker and recent debut placegetter Engine of War who are all marching towards their 3YO season in progressive form.
Proven stallions VANBRUGH and TURN ME LOOSE round out Windsor Park’s 2025 stallion lineup.
ENCOSTA DE LAGO’s Gr.1 winning son VANBRUGH has fashioned a successful career with an excellent stakeswinners to runners strike rate of 5.6% from limited representation.
An outstanding physical individual who is dominant for producing great types VANBRUGH is set to be represented by his first sizeable crop, now rising 3YO’s, next season.
His top-class Group One performers, MUSTANG VALLEY and WILD NIGHT, trained on from two years to be performing at the top level as five and six-year-olds and with his yearlings selling to $130,000 at Karaka VANBRUGH will stand in 2025 for a fee of $7,500+gst which will be the same fee afforded his barnmate, fellow successful sire TURN ME LOOSE.
TURN ME LOOSE continually sires smart winners week in, week out and this season alone has sired 52 individual winners of 70 races and in excess of $2.6 million in prizemoney.
2025 leading southern 3YO filly LOOSE SALLY is the latest stakes winner for TURN ME LOOSE who has sired Australian stakes winners (SHE’S) LICKETYSPLIT, PRIX DE TURN and ANCIENT GIRL to go with his tally of New Zealand stakes winners.
TURN ME LOOSE, whose yearlings have sold to $230,000, will be available to breeders in 2025 for a fee of $7,500+gst.

A coalition of state and federal members from across all three major parties have joined the campaign to try to save a beloved kindergarten facing eviction in Melbourne’s inner east
but the Allan government has refused to commit to saving the centre
The Windsor Community Children’s Centre, which is both a childcare centre and a kindergarten, has for years leased its premises from Swinburne University but is facing eviction after the university decided to try to rezone and sell the Crown land on which it had built the centre
Emma Carter and Romi Goldshlager in the garden of Windsor Community Children’s Centre
The fate of the centre has emerged as a key issue in the upcoming byelection for the state seat of Prahran
left vacant after former Greens MP Sam Hibbins’ abrupt resignation from parliament at the end of last year
as well as in the marginal federal seat of Macnamara
With Labor opting not to field a candidate for the February 8 Prahran contest
it is shaping up as a battle between Greens candidate Angelica Di Camillo and the Liberal Party’s Rachel Westaway
Both were in attendance at the centre on Wednesday
as were current Labor Macnamara MP Josh Burns and his Greens challenger Sonya Semmens
But notably absent was a representative of the Allan government
and Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny receiving personal invitations
Speaking at a press conference across town
cabinet minister Melissa Horne refused to answer why the government had snubbed the event
“The minister for planning has had a report [handed down] and is making a determination [on the rezoning application],” she said
A group of volunteers has led a campaign to save the not-for-profit service after Swinburne filed a rezoning application in July
The group of political candidates all urged the university to abandon its bid to rezone the land
which would open up the sale of the public land to developers
Stonnington Council pledged to look at options to purchase the land to allow the centre to continue its operation
Stonnington Mayor Melina Sehr and its chief executive have written letters
to Kilkenny and Blandthorn urging for funding or partnership options for the site
A Stonnington spokesperson said: “An independent valuation of the site
determined the value of the property at a range between $12.2 million and $13.8 million
Council is unable to consider the stand-alone acquisition of the site at that valuation
however is prepared to consider a tripartite funding arrangement with state and federal governments.”
Macnamara MP Josh Burns laid the blame for the eviction squarely at the feet of the university
“Despite reasonable offers from the City of Stonnington [to purchase the land]
Swinburne’s selfishness means they will send an outstanding early education centre out of existence,” Burns said
The university released a scathing response to “correct the record” on Wednesday
“State government departments and the City of Stonnington were offered the opportunity to purchase the land
Swinburne is required to seek rezoning of the land ahead of a sale on the open market,” the statement said
“There is nothing preventing the continuation of childcare at the site under a new landlord should they wish
The re-zoning that the university is seeking is required to enable the university to divest the property given it was unable to find a public buyer
The new zoning being sought does not preclude the provision of childcare services being provided.”
A hearing for the rezoning application was held in September by the Government Land Standing Advisory Committee
The committee filed its report to the planning minister in October
The Windsor Community Children’s Centre chair
is pleased with the renewed attention from politicians as the centre awaits the government’s determination
federal Labor and the Greens are willing to go to an event together – it’s suddenly become a hot political issue
It’s catapulted us to the top of us list,” she said
“We have received some engagement [from the state government]
and it’s encouraging to receive recognition that the centre is important … I am disappointed there was some significant gap in responses from the important players
We haven’t had a visit from [the ministers].”
the Greens announced a $12 million pledge to save the centre
though that would need the government to adopt the policy
The Victorian Liberals promised to write a letter to Swinburne University
urging it to withdraw its rezoning application
Burns has toured the site twice and written letters opposing the eviction
More than 650 submissions were filed to the Government Land Standing Advisory Committee ahead of the hearing – one of the largest responses in the state’s history
“Please don’t close this wonderful service,” one parent wrote
“It would be an unforgivable travesty to remove such a crucial resource for the community,” said a local
Parent Romi Goldshlager says she will have to choose between work or the care of her child if the daycare shuts
director of the daycare and who has worked at the centre for 25 years
is devastated at the thought of the centre shutting
and for me that heartbreaking thing – to lose this site for education
Vale said she was kept awake by the thought of bulldozing the daycare’s 40 native trees
logs on the ground and the tree canopy that stretched over the kids playing in the yard
The Liberals ran second in Prahran at the 2022 state election
pulling just over 30 per cent of the primary vote compared with 36.4 per cent for the Greens
The Greens easily won the two-candidate count on Labor preferences

TRIPLE DOUBLE A has thrived in handicaps in cheekpieces this season and can complete a quick-fire hat-trick
He made little impact in three starts in maiden/novice company last season
he was well backed on his handicap debut and reappearance at Redcar two weeks ago and rewarded that support with a decisive victory
He followed up under a penalty with an even better performance at Yarmouth last Thursday
and he looks up to defying another penalty
Sharma d’Amour showed much improvement when making a successful handicap debut at Lingfield last month and could be the one for the forecast spot
boasts an eye-catching pedigree as he’s out of Group 1 winner Ribbons and is a half-brother to a smart sort in 2023 Melbourne Cup runner-up Soulcombe
Scoville is in excellent hands with William Haggas and is taken to make a winning debut
Vecu failed to match his juvenile form when only third on his reappearance at Chelmsford last month
but he wasn’t seen to best effect there from a wide draw
and he’s likely to put up a better showing here
FORAGER looks on a fair mark based on the pick of her juvenile efforts
notably a runner-up effort at Lingfield off this mark on her penultimate start
and she will have the assistance of Tom Marquand in the saddle for the first time
Forager gets the vote over The Feminine Urge
who has been placed on her last couple of starts and should give another good account
FLEETWATER shaped well when runner-up on her reappearance and handicap debut at Kempton last month
finding only an improving rival too strong
and she looks likely to go well off just a 1 lb higher mark
Her record at Windsor is also a positive as she won a novice and was then runner-up under a penalty on her two previous attempts over this course and distance
Distant Rumble was a comfortable winner over course and distance last week
ASINARA shaped well when third on her return at Haydock last month and can take a step forward with that outing under her belt
Asinara travelled well at the head of affairs in the centre group but a lack of a recent run seemed to tell late on as she was headed approaching the final furlong
KINGKEERstill looked a bit rough around the edges when fourth at Salisbury on his final start last season
but he remains relatively unexposed and with the potential to do better as a four-year-old
He has been gelded since last seen and makes his return to action with trainer Hughie Morrison’s horses in good form
so it’s worth taking a chance that this well-bred and lightly raced sort can take a step forward
Golden Circet had the run of the race when scoring at Bath a couple of weeks ago
HARLINGTON won at Wolverhampton in November and has largely held his form well since
finishing in the frame on his six subsequent starts
He has been eased 1 lb since finishing third at Bath a couple of weeks ago and has Rossa Ryan taking over in the saddle
Curtiz needs to bounce back from a below-par effort at Wolverhampton last time
but had been runner-up at Chelmsford prior to that and is respected on that form

CALEB Windsor will be back in the selection mix this week with the young Demon set to return from injury
Windsor has been sidelined since the opening game of the season after an infection to his foot ruled him out for the following two matches
and he'll integrate into full training this coming week,” said Selwyn Griffith
“He’ll look to be available for this weekend's game.”
Jake Lever (ankle) and Charlie Spargo (concussion) are also eyeing their returns after being ruled out of last Saturday’s game due to their respective injuries
Lever and Spargo will both face fitness tests to tick off the final requirements to be available for Friday night’s match against Geelong
“Jake just pulled up sore from our main training session last week
therefore the decision was made [to remove him from the team],” Griffith said
we’ll look to integrate him into main training and hopefully he is able to progress better than last week
“Charlie has progressed well through his concussion protocol
“His next phase is to integrate into main training and if he succeeds through that
plus the additional testing with the doctors
he'll be available for this weekend as well.” Matt Jefferson will also remain as a test for this week’s match as he continues to recover from surgery following a fracture to his hand
which was positive and now it's about him increasing the function of his hand,” Griffith said
but we just need to see how his hand function improves
We'll get a clearer picture on his availability towards the end of the week and progress him as far as his function allows.”
young Demon Xavier Lindsay was subbed off due to a knee concern but was cleared of any significant damage following scans
“Imaging cleared him of any severe damage to the knee
but he still has a low-grade injury to his medial ligament,” Griffith said
“This week is more around progression from that
he’s still quite sore and stiff following that incident
“He was able to get moving today but he'll be unlikely for this week and then we'll just keep progressing him as each day goes by.”
After being sidelined for a number of weeks due to bone stress in his foot
Jai Culley will make his return to football via the VFL to gain important match minutes
“Jai has progressed back into full training,” Griffith said
“He'll look to return to the VFL on some modified minutes this Friday
but he has progressed really well in this last week.”
In exciting news for young Demons Koltyn Tholstrup (back) and Luker Kentfield (illness)
both are closing in on returns after extended periods on the sidelines
“We've had Koltyn and Luker both progressing through a reconditioning phase,” Griffith said
“After both of them had an interrupted Christmas and January period
they've had a great month and integrated back into full training last week
“They're both in full training again this week
with the likelihood of being available next week.”
Judd McVee is getting closer to rounding out his rehab from a hamstring injury he sustained in February during pre-season
“Judd's been integrating into some training
and he's had a really positive fortnight with really good strength numbers in the gym,” Griffith said
“Now we're seeing that transfer out onto the field
He'll look to integrate into full training over the next week or two
with availability likely in the coming weeks.”
Tom Campbell didn’t feature in the second half due to hamstring awareness but recovered well and has re-entered into his regular training schedule
Shane McAdam (Achilles) and Andy Moniz-Wakefield (knee) are both continuing to complete their respective rehab programs
Harvey Langford has earned the Round 3 AFL Rising Star nomination
The city is going to review security measures at all city-run and city-authorized events in Windsor
Ward 3 Councillor Renaldo Agostino requested during Monday's meeting that administration conduct an immediate review of the current event safety planning policies and that the report include a risk assessment process for all event spaces
Agostino requested the review after an SUV drove into a crowd attending a street festival in Vancouver
killing 11 people and leaving dozens injured
One man has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder
Ward 3 Councillor Renaldo Agostino says most street closures involve wooden barriers to prevent vehicles from entering
"The reason we use the wooden horses instead of something bigger is if an emergency vehicle needs to get through
We always have to leave 16 feet of clearance and room for quick ease
and someone has to be able to move that wooden horse
The issue is that the wooden horse is not very safe," he says
Agostino says he's helped with a number of events in his lifetime that have involved street closures
"I don't want the community to think there's a threat of some type of incident
But the thing I saw the most was distracted drivers
getting to within a foot of our barriers," he says
Agostino says he just wants to see what options are available for the types of barriers for street closures and how they can improve safety
"I wouldn't be able to live with myself if someone hit a patio or mistakenly went through a barrier and hit one person
Agostino asked that the report be expedited given the warmer weather brings with it a number of festivals and events across Windsor

The Living Nostradamus has just stepped forward with his take on Princess Lilibet future
The conversation happened with the Daily Mail
He also noted that she would live in stark contrast to Prince Archie
and may “embrace - rather than reject - her high-profile background.”
She will not run away from fame — she will redefine it.”
by 2031 she is predicted to start “informal roles tied to humanitarian diplomacy” and may also be seen serving as a “representative for global and feminist causes.”
“She will represent what the monarchy would like to be: modern
plural and empathetic - without having to wear a crown or live in palaces.”
during her “delicate period” she will “be the victim of coordinated attacks on social media
The pressure will be so great that she will consider abandoning public life
There will be an emotional rebirth after 2042.”
He also predicted her married life and said she is likely to marry in a way where she “escapes aristocratic standards.”
With “a name linked to technology with a social impact
perhaps a young billionaire with philanthropic travels
but this marriage will be a global event between 2048 and 2050.”
She is also predicted to join the Firm officially
turning into “the only possible bridge between the Windsor's and the Sussexes.”
Throughout her life Mr Salomé believes “she will participate in ceremonies representing reality
but always selectively and independently.”
Lilibet will play a decisive role in redefining the role of the royal family
but as the architect of a new symbolic diplomacy.”

Just days after the first World Cup stop in Guadalajara, Mexico, 129 divers are assembling in Windsor, Canada, to contest event No. 2 of the World Aquatics Diving World Cup tour. The event, from 10-13 April, will be their last chance to qualify for next month’s World Cup Super Final at the famous Water Cube in Beijing, China.
For many athletes, Windsor will be a refreshing new venue. Known as the automotive capital of Canada, Windsor is so close to another North American car-manufacturing hub (Detroit, Michigan) that fans can see Detroit across the river from the diving center. Windsor also happens to be the most southern city in Canada. And in 2016, it hosted swimming’s short course (25m) world championships.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by World Aquatics (@world_aquatics)
the spotlight will be on divers from 23 countries as they vie for medals
and prize money in all eight Olympic events – plus the non-Olympic mixed team discipline
who finished 1-2-3 last weekend in Guadalajara
In the 3m and 10m individual and synchronized events
China will be a medal threat in every discipline
China claimed 12 medals at the Guadalajara World Cup – at least one per event – but host country Mexico
stymied a sweep by winning two golds of its own (in men’s 10m and in men’s 3m synchro)
Kilimanjaro last year and is aiming to make his ninth world championship team this July and August in Singapore
View this post on Instagram A post shared by World Aquatics (@world_aquatics)
There will be plenty of synchro diving action as well: two finals on Saturday and two more Sunday
For a detailed schedule of the Windsor World Cup, click here
Scores from both World Cups will determine qualification and seeding for the World Cup Super Final, which will feature an exciting new format for individual events when it debuts 2-4 May in the Chinese capital

Polls point to a power-sharing government being the most likely outcome at the upcoming federal election
Independent Senator David Pocock and Tony Windsor AM
former independent parliamentarian who held the balance of power during the Gillard minority government

the growth of the independent and minor party vote

The Wrap with Amy Remeikis Well, those two weeks were quite the month, weren’t they? The headlines could cause whiplash; from a focus on the alternative prime minister’s past, to election date scuttle, to Chinese military vessels niggling boundaries, to Donald Trump making it clear to the people in the back where his America stands,
Amy Remeikis and Bill Browne discuss the federal election campaign so far, the performance of the media, and how preferential voting actually works.
Some people are worried that the next election could lead to a “hung parliament”, requiring power sharing arrangements between parties and independents. But Parliaments always involve power-sharing: between interest groups, communities and political movements; across the upper and lower houses; within parties (via factions); and between parties.

The pursuit of ‘cool’ work has financially ruined me
Inside the Hotel Windsor wedding of Melbourne book blogger..
How I Got Here: The British Fashion Council’s communications executive on finding success abroad
PHOTOGRAPHY BY the.runaway.hearts/INSTAGRAM
“The only thing I was fussy about was the photography
I knew I wanted everything shot on Super8 and 35mm film.”
Melbourne-based book blogger, Olivia Friend (@oloffffy)
Though they were in the same social circles
it wasn’t until years later the two reconnected
Brendan proposed during a hike in Yosemite National Park
“I was completely caught off guard and to this day I can’t believe he proposed to me while I was wearing a beanie,” Olivia says
Olivia and Brendan wanted the day to be low-key and unfussy
“The thought of putting together a wedding was not appealing to me in the slightest,” Olivia shares
the two chose to elope at The Hotel Windsor
a Victorian-style hotel in Melbourne’s CBD
Olivia wore a custom minidress from a local label and a Juliet cap veil thrifted from a vintage store. She later changed into a House of CB dress
Their ceremony had 20 guests, with flowers from O My Beloved and a cake from Mali Bakes
Olivia and Brendan celebrated with family and friends at a garden party at home on the Sunshine Coast where they’re both from
Bren and I went to high school together and were in similar social circles
we didn’t reconnect until years later – it just felt right
we were on a very rainy hike in Yosemite in the US and he proposed
I was completely caught off guard and to this day I can’t believe he proposed to me while I was wearing a beanie… but it was perfect
We then spent a good amount of time celebrating in NYC which we always look back on fondly
How did you settle on the venue for your wedding
We chose to elope at The Hotel Windsor in Melbourne
We wanted the day to be very low-key and less about us and more about the people who came along to celebrate
A big fuss isn’t really our style and I’m not a planner
The thought of putting together a wedding was not appealing to me in the slightest
my choice of venue was heavily influenced by my obsession with the Windsor Suite’s carpet and the vintage pink and blue hues
was sent photos of the space and she crafted the most perfect floral arrangements that fit in seamlessly
Our wedding day was super cosy with just 20 guests
We had only immediate family and our bridal party
we had a big garden party at home on the Sunshine Coast to celebrate with everyone
Where was your outfit from and what was the process of sourcing it like
the first was a custom mini dress from a local bridal company
paired with a vintage Juliet cap veil Bren and I found at a vintage store in Brisbane
My second dress was from House of CB originally and then a local seamstress re-made it to fit me
My bag was made by Oana Bags in Sweden. I wanted something cute and different and also something sustainable that I would wear again. The mini bag is handmade and super sweet, I wear it all the time. My jacket was from Bübish Luxe, though I ended up stealing Bren’s jacket on the day
tell us about the look you went for on the day
My little sister Sophie did my makeup on the day
I wanted something really natural and she did such an amazing job
although looking back wish I had given myself more than 15 minutes to blow dry my hair
I spent too much time browsing in bookshops in the morning and not enough time getting ready
What did you do to celebrate after the ceremony
We went to a bar after the ceremony for a drink and then later celebrated with an intimate dinner at a small Italian restaurant
It was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the company of our nearest and dearest
we had our wedding cake which was from Mali Bakes
It was red velvet with cream cheese frosting and yes
The only thing I was fussy about was the photography. I knew I wanted everything shot on Super8 and 35mm film. We wanted our day captured in a way that was candid and documentary-style and I’m so glad we found Kara (@the.runaway.hearts)
her style is so dreamy and aligned with my personal style so well

MG Motor is turning the wick up on its electric game
After winning hearts (and parking spots) with the Windsor
the carmaker is now getting ready to roll out its snazzier sibling – the Windsor PRO
it comes with more of everything: more tech
To be launched under the new JSW MG Motor India banner
the Windsor PRO aims to ride the momentum created by the standard Windsor
which has quietly become one of the highest-selling EVs in its segment
MG promises serious upgrades across six fronts – Tech
That could translate to features like a larger infotainment screen
The outgoing Windsor’s claimed range hovered around 400 km
so expect the PRO to push that envelope further
the PRO is expected to carry forward the Intelligent CUV design DNA
blending SUV practicality with sedan-like comfort
MG might throw in a bigger battery pack with faster charging capability
Rumors suggest a range closer to 450-470 km
which would help it stay competitive against segment stalwarts like the Tata Nexon EV Long Range and Mahindra XUV400 EL Pro
Let’s also not forget Hyundai’s Kona Electric
which continues to hold its ground with a premium badge
an official unveil might be just weeks away
MG seems to be following the age-old mantra: “If it ain’t broke
and watch it fly off the showroom floor.” That said
this could very well be the version that convinces more fence-sitters to go electric—especially those who want their EV with a little extra everything
let’s just hope they throw in ventilated seats
Bethan joined Horse & Hound as showing editor in January 2025
after spending two years as Editor for Grandstand Media\u2019s Showing World
She was born on a Pembrokeshire farm but did not inherit her father\u2019s love of cows
a riding lesson at three years old sparked a passion for ponies
fuelled by hours spent with her great uncle\u2019s Welsh ponies and point\u2013to-pointers
Bethan and her younger sister began showing in flat
Whilst they have stuck predominantly to the Welsh breeds
there have been forays into the other sections and breeds
They have progressed from grassroots level to wins at shows up and down the country
and have each won ridden championships at the Royal Welsh
Yrallt Mayday Surprise (Jim) almost made history as the first Welsh section C to take the RIHS championship but finished in reserve
only to become the first and only one of his breed to win the mountain and moorland championship at HOYS later that year
also boasts a win and reserve championship at HOYS
Jim and Prince both stood Best of Breed at London International and enjoyed further fame when Jim was invited to meet The Queen (Elizabeth II)
and Prince starred alongside Bethan and TV and radio presenter Adrian Chiles in an episode of Welsh documentary series
before taking the opportunity to marry her love for horses with writing as a journalist and editor
providing live coverage of Welsh equestrian events including the Royal Welsh and Royal Welsh Winter Fair
and has presented the HOYS breeders awards and the SEIB British Showing World Awards
With a show to perform as well as a ride judge to impress, the ridden hacks might just be one of the toughest classes to win. There are four hack classes at Royal Windsor Horse Show; the open large
before first and second of each division goes head to head in a bid to secure the coveted Count Robert Orrsich Hack Championship in the Castle Arena
Presiding over the ride aspect this year is Georgina Maywood
Neither Georgina’s grandparents or parents were horsey
but she became the proud owner of two donkeys aged seven
and her first pony followed about two years later
“I decided that riding a horse would be much easier,” jokes Georgina
who is now a freelance riding coach and enjoys offering showing and pole clinics as well as private lessons
She proceeded to take part in Pony Club activities
Georgina now concentrates predominantly on cobs
“I enjoy the privilege of riding beautiful horses and like to be able to give something back to the sport,” says Georgina.
Georgina has officiated at Windsor before, and on that occasion, she judged the conformation aspect of the riding horses.
She says: “It’s a special show and I’m very much looking forward to judging again”.
With the prospect of riding some of the country’s most elegant hacks just around the corner, what will Georgina be looking for?
“I will be looking for my winner to draw my eye from the moment they walk into the Copper Arena,” says Georgina, adding: “My winner will need to have a good walk, meaning they are relaxed, in self carriage and covering the ground. For me, I’d like to see this way of going continue through all three paces of the go round.”
Unlike riding horses, hunters and cobs, hacks must perform an individual show with their riders, as well as being assessed from the saddle by the ride judge.
Of the show component, Georgina says: “I’d like to see the horses happy, forwards, balanced and in true partnership with their riders.”
Finally, once on board, Georgina says: “I will be looking for a light, mannerly ride with the horse carrying me forwards. I don’t want to be nagging them – I want the horse to enjoy their job.”
Mark Fuller will be joining Georgina assessing the conformation of the animals.
“With Mark’s wealth of knowledge, I’m looking forward to finding the next Windsor hack champion,” says Georgina.

Built almost 90 years ago and still standing proudly on Stirling Highway
Offers have been invited for the site at 98-100 Stirling Highway, currently home to beloved local independent cinemas Luna Palace
The property listing describes the 2,532sqm site as an “iconic town centre supersite in premium location”
with “high density large scale future redevelopment options”
“The Windsor Cinema is leased to renowned local operators Luna Palace Cinemas who have refurbished the property including new seating,” said Ray White Commercial WA agent Stephen Harrison
who is marketing the property alongside agent Michael Milne
“The Nedlands location and demographic is ideal for a boutique Arthouse cinema operation.”
large span buildings and income stream will be of broad appeal to investors and developers alike,” added Milne
“The buildings are not heritage listed although attractive elements are certainly worth retaining as part of any future redevelopment.”
While the 1937-built cinema’s distinctive Art Deco features – including its blue tower with vibrant red stripes – make it an immediately recognisable landmark of the area
the Windsor is not currently listed on the State Heritage Register
The most recent assessment by the Heritage Council of WA in 2020 concluded the cinema “does not have sufficient cultural heritage significance at the State level for inclusion in the State Register”
The assessment document goes on to detail that the cinema is “a good representative example of a 1930s suburban cinema
which reflected the hope and optimism of the inter-war period,” however compares it to the Cygnet Theatre in Como
which is described as “a highly intact and fine example of a cinema in the Inter-War Functionalist style”
and “the least altered of the 1930s suburban cinemas of Perth that remain in operation
A current change.org petition “Save Perth’s Last Art Deco Cinema! Heritage List The Windsor Now!” has almost reached its 5000 signature goal
which follows a long-running effort by the Art Deco Society to officially protect the building
