THE BOSS MAN (Race 1 No. 5)
The Lindsey Smith-trained three-year-old was solid from racing on the speed at Ballarat on debut and should be harder to get past this time.

Melbourne Renegades lock away Ollie Peake, announce Geelong home games
Don't miss out on the headlines from Big Bash. Followed categories will be added to My News. Ollie Peake and the Melbourne Renegades are coming back to Geelong this summer. The BBL franchise has confirmed it will open its summer with back-to-back home games at GMHBA Stadium. Games will be played on Monday, December 15 and Sunday, December 21 with local supporters hoping they will be able to see local prospect Ollie Peake in action. Peake made his debut for the Renegades last summer and scored 19 against the Brisbane Heat. He has now signed his first full-time contract with the club after joining as a replacement player last season. 'It's a really special feeling to sign my first full Big Bash contract with the Renegades,' Peake said. 'Getting the chance to debut last summer was a great experience, it gave me a taste of cricket at the top T20 level and I'm keen to get stuck in and hopefully play more games.' Renegades general manager James Rosengarten said Peake had shown maturity beyond his years to date. 'We got a glimpse of what he's capable of during his debut last season and his performances at the Under-19 World Cup and for Victoria either side of the Big Bash,' Rosengarten said. The Renegades opponents for the December games will be confirmed later this week when the fixture is officially released. It will be the eighth time the club has played in Geelong. Rosengarten said the club had worked closely with the necessary stakeholders for a balanced set of home games between GMHBA and Marvel Stadium. 'Geelong has always been a special part of our summer schedule,' Rosengarten said. 'The support from our fans in the region has grown every season, and we're excited to deliver two huge nights of entertainment and cricket for them this year. 'These won't just be games of cricket – they'll be major events. We know how much cricket fans in the Geelong region love getting behind the Gades, and these matches will play a crucial role in setting up our season.' Kardinia Park Stadium Trust chief executive Gerard Griffin welcomed the club's return. 'We're delighted to welcome the Renegades back for another summer of Big Bash at GMHBA Stadium,' Griffin said. 'The atmosphere these games bring is fantastic – they're a real highlight on the Geelong event calendar and we're looking forward to two more big nights under lights.' Last summer, the Renegades secured a thumping win over the Hobart Hurricanes by six wickets. The Gades rolled their Tasmanian opponents for just 74 before going onto win the game.

Richmond's Tom Lynch takes ‘big swing' at opponent with old school haymaker
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Richmond forward Tom Lynch can expect a lengthy stint on the sidelines after he unleashed an old fashioned haymaker on an Adelaide Crows player on Sunday. Adelaide defeated the Tigers by 68 points at the MCG to consolidate their position in the top four. Lynch was not enjoying the close attention of Crows defender Jordan Butts, giving away five free kicks to have an AFL Fantasy score of -15 at one stage. 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? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. Late in the first quarter, Lynch lashed out at Butts after a marking contest, turning and whacking Butts across the face/head area, prompting him to fall to the turf in pain. The umpire blew a free kick and Lynch engaged in some further argy bargy with Crows players. Watch Tom Lynch's strike in the video above Tom Lynch is in hot water for this strike on Crow Jordon Butts. The strike on Butts immediately caught the attention of Fox Footy's commentators, especially given the turn-and-strike nature of the incident looked similar to Barry Hall's infamous punch on Brent Staker. Brad Johnson said in commentary: 'Lynch is in a lot of trouble here. I've just see a big whack. It's frustration. 'He actually got reported for the second punch – that first one was a free kick against. 'He gets in the scuffle again. He punches again. That's where the umpire comes in and reports him on the spot.' Dermott Brereton said: 'He's taken a big swing.' Footy reporter Jon Ralph said on Fox Footy: 'He's in plenty of trouble. 'I asked Tom Lynch a month ago about his reputation as a tribunal regular. 'He said 'I've been suspended for two weeks across my whole career' – I think he's likely to double that. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY 'He does make contact there with Butts. You'd hate to think he could have followed through and really got him hard. 'It's clearly intentional, behind the play. Maybe it's high impact. 'The look of that strike is something (MRO's) Michael Christian factors in too. 'He's had scuffles with other players as well – I don't think there's a lot in those. 'It goes without saying, he's got to be better than that. His coach would be shattered – sometimes when it's not going your way you've got to suck it up.' Tom Lynch had a tough day at the office against the Crows. Picture: Mark Stewart Lynch told Seven post-game: 'I didn't want to cause harm or anything like that, I was just trying to get free and the frustration came out. 'I gave away too many free kicks and was not good enough as a leader; said at halftime sorry boys, thought we were playing pretty well in that second quarter and it pretty much stopped the momentum. 'I was just more frustrated with how he was defending me, I thought. And clearly it was within the rules because there were no free kicks awarded to me and I went outside the rules. I've got to be better.' Originally published as Richmond's Tom Lynch takes 'big swing' at opponent with old school haymaker
