About this listen

Hello to everyone, Vince and I recap a memorable and historic Melbourne Cup day, and congratulate Jamie Melham, nee Kah, who galloped into the history books as the first female jockey to win the Caulfield-Melbourne Cup double.

We also trace the decline of harness racing and suggest ways to glamorise and market it, while debating how shortened formats like T20 cricket and Live Golf are reshaping fan interest and discuss cricket’s cultural shifts, players’ political voices, and broader challenges and opportunities for Australian sport going forward.
