Kempsey preview: Trainer John Shelton expecting strong showing from Hayley's Rocket
THE colours worn by one of the best milers of the 1980s could well be flying high at the final Northern Rivers region meeting of the 2024/25 season. Monday's wearer of Riverdale's red, white and yellow silks is Hayley's Rocket which is housed at Grafton by Kosciuskzo winning trainer John Shelton for close friend Brian Paine whose father, Ross, owned the aforementioned multiple stakes-winner. Bought in New Zealand as a yearling, Riverdale won over $500,000 in prizemoney, much of which as a consequence of his Epsom Handicap-Ampol Stakes (now the Cantala Stakes) double in 1984. Riverdale also won the Warwick Stakes, Gosford Gold Cup as well as a triumphant 'home town' win in the Grafton Cup. Brian Paine and wife Elizabeth together shelled out $14,000 for Hayley's Rocket at the 2023 Magic Millions Yearling Sale. A daughter of Blue Diamond winner Written By out of a mare by Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Bradbury's Luck, Hayley's Rocket is bred on a rare double-cross of Geoff and Beryl White's former crack colt, Iglesia. The Paine's would have been suitably buoyed by their filly's eye-catching debut in a deep Super Maiden on the recent South Grafton Cup undercard. 'I thought she went pretty good,'' Shelton said. 'She didn't have a lot of luck in the run, she was caught a little bit wide most of the race and she battled on to the line. 'She's got a good gate on Monday. There is a fair bit of depth in that maiden but she should acquit herself quite well.' Shelton meanwhile has taken over the training duties of regally-bred former Goulburn resident Shine Like It Does whose value is well and truly 'INXS' of her current earnings of $52,100 given she is a grand-daughter of Dane Ripper. Shine Like It Does broke her maiden at Moruya on June 27 prior to her closing fourth in a Class 2 mile at Grafton on Ramornie Day when saddled-up by Goulburn trainer Lucy Longmire. 'It was a credible run,'' Shelton said. 'I don't know what it is like on wet ground. 'Lucy left her up here for a couple of runs just to see what happens up here. 'She's done well since she has been here and is coming back from a Class 2 to a Benchmark 58. 'She's got a good rider (Luke Rolls) but she hasn't drawn that well so we'll just play it by ear.' Shelton's other runner on the final Northern Rivers district meeting on the 2024/25 season is three-year-old gelding Sources Link which lines up in the WIN Network Benchmark 58 Handicap (1450m). The son of Team Hawkes' Silver Slipper winner Headwater had his first five runs in Victoria under the care of Cox Plate winning trainer, Greg Eurell. Sources Link turned in a new P.B when making his NSW and Shelton stable debut in a 1000m Country Maiden, also on Ramornie Day. His Monday mission is the Plate over 1250m. 'His run was good the other day, he just got run off his feet,'' Shelton said. 'I thought he might be a little bit fresh but he looks like he wants 1200 or 1400m. 'We bought him as a second-hand horse out of Melbourne and he'll pay his way I think.' Sources Link will be ridden by Shelton's former apprentice, Ben Looker, whose tally of winners for his old boss currently stands at 119 with almost 200 placings.

Sunrise star James Tobin reveals huge personal news
A popular breakfast television star has announced some huge personal news, just nine months after he tied the knot in an intimate ceremony. The Weekend Sunrise weather presenter, James Tobin, and his wife Farrah, who are incredibly private about their relationship, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a personal update. The two images featured a selfie of the couple and a sonogram shot. 'A bit of news from us … We are excited for the arrival of Baby Tobin in November,' Farrah captioned the set of images. Other famous faces were quick to congratulate the happy couple on their family growing in size. 'Fabulous news. So thrilled for the both of you. Sending tonnes of love,' Sam Armytage commented. Donny Galella, a stylist, said, 'Congratulations. Such beautiful news,' 'You beauty! Congratulations mate! Nothing better,' Sam Mac added. 'Beautiful stuff. So happy for you both,' Kylie Gillies also wrote. It's been a whirlwind 12 months for the couple, who officially tied the knot in a low-key affair at the Junee Licorice & Chocolate Factory — a scenic two-hour drive from Canberra — in October 2024. Tobin, 44, wore a cream suit paired with a blue shirt and tie, and his beautiful bride wore a cathedral veil over her short white minidress adorned with beaded tassels. The couple ditched the traditional white wedding cake in favour of a two-tier chocolate creation, which they playfully smashed with a baton as guests looked on. The pair have been relatively private about their relationship since they began dating in 2021, rarely sharing details about their relationship on social media. But in October 2023 they couldn't help but contain their excitement as they announced their engagement. 'A bit of news … we're getting married. A lot of my life is lived out on TV, but I've also kept some things private because, well, not everything needs to be out there,' Tobin wrote on Instagram at the time. Tobin – who previously dated former Pussycat Dolls member Jessica Sutta – went on to say Farrah had been living and studying in Perth over the past couple of years, and was set to make the move back to Sydney.

AFL world praises Joel Selwood for ‘brave' act as footy great returns after death of his brothers
The AFL world has showered Geelong legend Joel Selwood with praise as the 37-year-old made his return to the commentary box on Sunday. Selwood has been on a break from his media commitments after the sudden death of his brother Adam in May, aged 41. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. His death came just three months after his twin brother Troy took his own life. The surviving Selwood brothers – Joel and Scott – were understandably left devastated by the loss, and Joel decided to take a break from his media obligations. Scott also took a short break from his role at Collingwood, but returned to his duties last month. And earlier this week it was revealed that Selwood would return for Sunday's clash between St Kilda and Melbourne, much to the delight of fans. 'Great to see you back doing what you love,' one fan wrote on Facebook in response to the news. 'Great to see Joel returning we have missed you Joel,' another said. 'So brave, welcome back! Love and prayers for you and your family love you Joel,' a third added. While a fourth wrote on X during the first quarter: 'Good to hear Joel Selwood in Comms again this afternoon. Lots of love on your return.' Joel Selwood's touching tributes to twin brothers Following the death of Adam, Joel wrote a touching tribute message on social media. 'Rest up, love you brother. Look after each other'. It came after his heartfelt speech at Troy's speech in February. 'He was dealt some pretty tough cards over his lifetime. Some he found a way to deal with, but sadly, there were others, no matter how hard he tried, he could never fully control – and he did try,' Joel said. 'He tried so hard. He put up a hell of a fight for mum and dad, for his kids, for his brothers, for his friends and for others who are fighting the same fight, just as he was. 'He fought for all of us. 'He wanted to keep fighting, as he always did in life, but in the end, he simply couldn't lift his arms to throw another punch back. He'll be missed by so many.'
