Bathurst Monday preview: Greg Stephens-trained Geostorm out to win race named in his honour
Veteran gelding Geostorm makes a triumphant return to the Central West on Monday to take part in the race that honours his achievements as the 2025/26 Bathurst Horse of the Year. Housed some 250km away in Canberra, Geostorm will be one of four Greg Stephens -trained gallopers making the trip, one that clearly delights the eight-year-old son of Golden Rose winner Epaulette. 'He just loves everything there,'' Stephens said. 'He likes the different air over that side of the world, it's a bit fresher and clearer than the coast. 'I think he is a bit like us, he loves the journey. It's actually a very scenic journey. 'A lot of people don't like the road we go on because it is winding and everything but we just go slow. 'We just poke along and I think that suits (the horses) too; they're not working on the truck.' Geostorm's title defence begins on Monday in the appropriately named Horse of The Year: Geostorm Benchmark 58 Handicap (1406m). 'He has always got a chance,'' Stephens says. 'There's speed in the race but Brock's (Ryan) smart and it might be our turn to push someone else along instead of letting them push us.' Stephens' remaining three runners all appear in quaddie legs at Monday's meeting. • Everest possibility for Waller's new leading Lady Geostorm kicks it off followed by the well-bred Niccolina, Tillman and the reliable Press Statement gelding Media Coverage. Niccolina, whose dam is a sister to Amelia's Dream, has raced at Bathurst twice for a second and a third. The daughter of Nicconi will go around with just 51kg on her back in the race named after the Club's Apprentice Jockey Of The Year, Siena Grima. 'Everything is good with her,'' Stephens reported. 'Young Caitlan (Sinclair) suits her very well. She loves the horse so they gel and I think if we can have a little bit of luck in transit, she'll certainly be there.' Tillman meanwhile is another of Stephens' string who excels at Bathurst. This particular son of the aforementioned Epaulette has a win and a third from his two runs there. 'He will run the journey out and Brock will suit him really well,'' Stephens says. 'He'll rate him perfectly and put him in the race on the turn where he needs to be.' Bringing it home for the Canberra quartet is Media Coverage in the last. 'We have got big raps on the horse,'' Stephens said. 'He has been very unlucky all this campaign.'

14 Terrible Movies That Some People Actually Love To Watch
Recently, u/bsoupdude asked r/MovieSuggestions for "the absolute worst films y'all can think of". So we thought we'd share some of the most popular responses. Manos: The Hands of Fate "Every frame looks like someone's last known photograph!"–MoreReputation8908"Oh, if you have never been subjected to Manos, you really have to give it a try."–jbenzeBrief description: This low-budget horror is about a family who are stuck at a remote hotel which is under the management of a nefarious cult leader. The Room "Obligatory The Room recommendation."–masterslut"Take a drink every time there's an establishing shot of San Francisco and you'll be wasted half an hour in."–sandman_42"That film is so remarkably bad it belongs in the Library of Congress."–joshuatxBrief description: This cult classic, riddled with awkward dialogue and strange performances is about a love triangle, and is famous for being so bad it's good.

Don't know that I'd survive the other two now that I've quit drinking..."–AltruisticCableCarBrief description: We watch as a small town is under attack from terribly animated birds. Geostorm "Geostorm is the undisputed king of big-budget, so-bad-it's-good movies. Hear me out. Unlike movies that are wink-wink 'bad' on purpose, ironically (e.g. The Meg, VelociPastor) this movie attempts to be very serious, which only exacerbates how hilariously bad it tries to recreate all the serious beats of movies like Independence Day and Deep Impact, but it's like too many acid-tripping executive producers had a say in the final product. It ends up a glorious trope-fuelled nightmare of hilarious bullshit."–PowermanFriendshipBrief description: This disaster movie is about climate-controlling satellites that, after malfunctioning, begin to cause extreme weather events that threaten the entire world. After Last Season "It's worth it just for the set pieces."–Safetosay333Brief description: This low-budget movie is about a group using tech in order to look into people's minds in order solve crimes.

Rubber "The plot is uninteresting but holds character development, the subplot is where the gold is."–hoggsauceBrief description: We watch the killing-spree of a sentient rubber tire that is on a mission of destruction for literally no reason. Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom "Just gave up halfway through Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom. Bafflingly awful. And for some reason obsessed with Aquaman literally getting pissed on."–BojukaBobBrief description: Aquaman must team up with his imprisoned brother in order to save the world from a mystical ancient evil. The Toxic Avenger "Comically bad and instant cult classic.... Which makes this a wonderful film!"–chrisdiaz73Brief outline: We follow a janitor who, after falling into toxic waste, becomes a crime-fighting superhero. Plan Nine From Outer Space "It is considered by some critics to be the worst film ever made. It's so bad that it can be fun to watch if one is in the right frame of mind."–Peaceful-Spirit9Brief outline: This cult film is about aliens who begin to resurrect the dead in an attempt to save humanity from itself. Megiddo: the Omega Code 2 "There is such a thing as so bad it's good, and the apex of that genre is Megiddo: the Omega Code 2."–tomrichards8464Brief outline: This apocalyptic film depicts the growth of a ruler of the world that turns out to be the antichrist.

No idea what the point of the whole thing was."–desteufelsbeitragBrief outline: This post-apocalyptic film follows a infamous criminal (Nicolas Cage), and his mission to rescue the governor's granddaughter from the dangerous region of Ghostland.
