Mr Deputy Speaker Scott, a well-known lad from your electorate, Peter Moody, steps out at Ascot on Saturday night with his Australian champion, Black Caviar. We expect a big run from this horse. It will be a little different over there than with his 21 wins out of 21 starts in Australia. He will be running uphill, probably on a heavy track. The distance is about 1,200 metres, which is right up his alley. Let's hope he can—

She!

Ken O'Dowd Flynn, National Party

Yes, it is a she—sorry! We are expecting great things and if you get $1.50 you should take it because I think it is pretty good odds.

Ewen Jones

Ewen Jones Herbert, Liberal Party

Get on!

Ken O'Dowd

Ken O'Dowd Flynn, National Party

Yes, get on! Go, you good thing!
