Appeal launched to help injured track rider Alannah Logie
Trainer Kate Goodrich organised the GoFundMe page for Alannah Logie after a horse she was riding reared and flipped on top of her, causing multiple facial fractures.
Goodrich said Logie rode for multiple small trainers at Kilmore and Seymour, providing a valuable service at a time in which track riders are scarce all over the state.
Logie also rehomes both standardbred and thoroughbred horses, paying for their care out of her own pocket. Funds raised from the GoFundMe drive will help with costs of feeding the rehomed animals while she is unable to work.

Trainers Stephen Brown, Dwayne Reid, Lee and Shannon Hope have contributed to the cause while an anonymous donor has also tipped in $5000.
Logie's mother Gai posted a message on the page to thank all that have helped her daughter.
'Alannah has to undergo several surgeries she has already had one but is too swollen for the others yet,' she wrote.
'She has crushed every bone on the right hand side of her skull and is lucky not to be blind and brain damaged on that side.
'I cannot explain how much this means to us to have so much support.
'I'm so lucky that my daughter is still here and even luckier to have you all, thank you so much again from the bottom of our hearts.'

Improving filly Tiz Worthy returns with surprise win at Sandown
Tiz Worthy enhanced her reputation as a 'little angel' in co-trainer Lucy Yeomans ' eyes with her determined first-up win at Wednesday's Sandown meeting. It is often said chestnut fillies can be a handful for connections but Yeomans said Tiz Worthy 'broke the mould' with her easygoing attitude to her trackwork and racing. 'She's not very big, but she's got a very big heart,' Yeomans, who trains Tiz Worthy in partnership with Lloyd Kennewell, said. 'She's very gutsy and very straightforward. She's very calm, very level headed and eats well.' Tiz Worthy gave away size to some of her rivals in the MRC Membership Handicap (1000m) but proved too strong late for the heavily-backed $1.60 favourite Saluted. Punters let a Jamie Melham ride get under their guards, allowing the filly to ease to start at $20, but the top jockey ensured the Hanseatic two-year-old had the last crack at the leaders in the straight. Sandown Race 2 | Tiz Worthy Once she straightened up, the daughter of Hanseatic rattled over the top of the leading pair under @jamieleekah07. ðŸ'° Ch. 78/68, Foxtel 529, Kayo or via our app REPLAYS: â€' (@Racing) July 23, 2025 'We weren't completely surprised but a little bit surprised,' Yeomans said. 'We didn't give her (Melham) any instructions. You don't need to give a rider like her instructions. 'It looked like she was going to whack away and run second or third but Jamie rode her beautifully.' Yeomans said a race at The Valley early next month could be a possibility for Tiz Worthy but she would discuss the rising three-year-old's immediate future with Kennewell, who is away in the US. She said Tiz Worthy had not grown a great deal since joining the stable but the camp had hopes she would measure up to harder races in the spring. 'It looks like she's improved this prep, which is exciting,' Yeomans said. 'She's a very hardy and tough little filly, so hopefully she's there in the spring.'

AFL 2025: Western Bulldog star Marcus Bontempelli says second flag ‘won't define' his career
Western Bulldogs great Marcus Bontempelli says a second premiership 'won't define' the calibre of his career. Bontempelli extended his stay at Whitten Oval for a further four years this week, prolonging a career that was crowned the club's second greatest on Monday night. The six-time All Australian and six-time best and fairest winner hasn't tasted the ultimate success since his third-season premiership in 2016. While it still remains his goal, Bontempelli says he won't let it shape the narrative of his career. 'I haven't yet but over the course over the rest of my career that is clearly something I am chasing,' Bontempelli, 29, said. 'It won't define my career if we can't but ultimately, I was lucky enough to be involved in the first one for a very long time in the men's program.' Bontempelli produced a stirring grand final performance in 2021, collecting 25 disposals and kicking three goals in a losing cause. He notably put the Bulldogs three goals up in the third quarter before Melbourne kicked 16 of the next 17 goals. Bontempelli says losing a grand final only whets the appetite to win another one. 'Having played in a losing one, I should say, and the heartbreak and pain that goes with that, it's clearly what we're all trying to achieve,' he said. 'It would make things pretty special but it won't define this next phase of my career. It would be more about what I can either teach or pass on the younger guys.' The Bulldogs are in danger of missing the finals this year despite having a favourable run home. They've slumped to a win behind Gold Coast, which has a game in hand, by repeatedly failing against top-eight sides. Bontempelli says the deficiency costing Western Bulldogs in these top-eight battles is clear for 'every man and his dog' to see. 'It's clearly the defensive side of the game where we really need to tighten up. We've shown throughout the year we're a capable scoring team,' he said. 'We've got plenty of guys, especially in the front half, who can contribute and hit the scoreboard. 'On the way back we haven't been able to slow teams down enough and it's been a lesson we've probably got on too many occasions this year. 'That's probably where we're focused on. I think every man and his dog knows that if you look at our team and the numbers around our game. 'It's critical we do because it is down to that point of the season where we can't afford to drop really any more games if we're to give ourselves the best chance.'

Carlton coach Michael Voss says star forward Charlie Curnow won't leave
Carlton coach Michael Voss has poured cold water over a potential Gold Coast move for star forward Charlie Curnow, declaring the star forward was a 'Carlton man' and would stay that way. It was reported on Tuesday night that the dual Coleman Medal winner was open to a move to the Suns for lifestyle reasons. Carlton reportedly shut down the possibility of the move as it braces for the departure of key tall Tom De Koning to St Kilda. Voss was also emphatic on Wednesday that Curnow, who is contracted at the club until the end of 2029, was going to be a Blue for life. 'It's probably just that, it's just speculation for us. Charlie is a Carlton man and he'll stay a Carlton man,' he said. 'I'm not sure how much more emphatic I need to be on that. I appreciate these times of the year and when you're not going so well there's always some speculation on your players. 'But it probably ends there for us … no (haven't spoken to him) because again it's just speculation. 'It's very hard to operate on conversation or even answer something on hearsay … Charlie is a very important person to us and he'll play out his career here – he's a Carlton person and will stay one.' There has been consistent talk about the shake-up incoming chief executive Graham Wright will have on the Blues' football department. But Voss shut that down too, saying Wright's entry into the club will change nothing but 'the names at the desk' when it comes to list management. 'I think the way we operate as football clubs, we tend to have a planned strategy about those things,' he said. 'We've got a list management committee, which I am one man in that (and) so is Graham, as well our list manager as well as our football manager. 'We strategise that out from a long way out and we put that together as a team, that's the way we will continue to do it as we always have. 'As normal, there's no change in the way we're operating, the names at the desk change because Brian moves out and Graham comes in.
