Fallon expecting big performance from Desert Flower
An unbeaten daughter of Night Of Thunder, Desert Flower has left Fallon spellbound. He said: 'If the filly was running in the Derby I would think she would be very competitive, I would be wanting to back her. Kieren Fallon expects Desert Flower will take all the beating in the Oaks (David Davies for The Jockey Club) 'I think the Oaks is a foregone conclusion and she ticks all the boxes. She settles and will switch off nicely and she will be fine over the trip and she will go on any ground. 'She's the nicest filly I've seen in a long time and I thought she would maybe even be good enough to beat the colts.' Few have ridden Epsom better than Fallon, who has the likes of Oath (Derby, 1995) and Kris Kin (Derby, 2003) on his roll of honour, while in 2004 he did the Epsom double by landing the Oaks on Ed Dunlop's Ouija Board before following up 24 hours later aboard Sir Michael Stoute's North Light in the Derby. This is an achievement that awaits Appleby and Godolphin's number one pilot William Buick should both Desert Flower and his Derby mount, 2000 Guineas hero Ruling Court, succeed this weekend. However, while Fallon is steadfast in his belief in Desert Flower, he is wary of the challenge Aidan O'Brien's Ballydoyle team presents to the Classic-winning son of Justify in Epsom's showpiece event as he puts his stamina to the test. Like Desert Flower, Ruling Court is bidding for a Classic double after winning the 2000 Guineas (David Davies for The Jockey Club) 'I think the Derby is an open race really,' added Fallon. 'Maybe it's best to stick with Ryan Moore and the draw for Delacroix (in 14) doesn't really matter if the horse is good enough. 'Ruling Court has lots of speed and won the best trial, but will he stay? I think Delacroix is guaranteed to stay whereas Ruling Court isn't. He's a horse with a lot of speed, but if there is a bit of cut in the ground it might not be ideal. 'Aidan has a great record in the race and you have to respect that, but it would be a very nice double if Charlie could do it.'

Jimmy Barnes says his 'troubled' sister became possessed after playing with a Ouija board: 'She was frothing at the mouth'
Jimmy Barnes has lifted the lid on a terrifying incident that happened when he was child. The Cold Chisel frontman, 69, candidly opened up about the inspiration for his latest project - a horror novel - and how it is based on a real life experience he had while growing up in South Australia. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, he revealed that his 13-year-old sister Linda and her friends were fooling around with an Ouija board in the room next to his when she became 'possessed', displaying odd and violent behaviour. 'She ran at the wall and smashed her head and face, blood and everything,' he recalled of the horrifying moment in a chat with the publication. 'She picked herself up and was running in to the other wall and mum, who's pretty tough, came running in and held her down and Linda was pretty well frothing at the mouth. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'She was talking weird stuff that didn't even sound like her voice,' he added. In the wake of the incident, Jimmy's parents enlisted the help of doctors and spiritualists, however he maintains that his sister was 'troubled' right up until her death in 2022. The story, while a traumatising one for the singer, gave him the idea to start his novel which is loosely based on his life, taking place in Port Adelaide. Jimmy already has a large catalogue of books behind his name - six to be exact - including Working Class Boy, Working Class Man and Highways and Byways. However, his health has seen a dip in recent months, taking time away from his writing and performing. In February, Barnes was hit with yet another medical blow, following three separate surgeries in the past year and a half. The Never Tear Us Apart hitmaker has been in and out of hospital since late 2023, receiving two hip operations and open heart surgery. The musician underwent another operation on his hip just six months after he was forced to get urgent 'remedial' hip surgery in August last year. In a video shared to Instagram, Jimmy could be seen using a walking frame to aid him as he hobbled down a hallway in the hospital just 24 hours after surgery. Garbed in a patient gown, Jimmy appeared to be in good spirits as he took a stroll through the building wearing compression socks and foot pumps. 'I'm walking, day one. Woohoo! I'll be jogging by tomorrow. Dancing by Friday,' he joked. Jimmy was forced to cancel two months' worth of gigs last August after noticing an ache in his side while performing in New Zealand, which led to an urgent 'remedial' hip operation. He previously underwent open-heart surgery to fend off a staph infection, which then returned and attacked his hip, leading to surgery and a six-week recovery. The rock star made a triumphant return to stage in October after his health struggles as he performed with his band Cold Chisel at The Entertainment Quarter. The Cold Chisel 50th anniversary tour, dubbed The Big Five-0, sold over 150,000 tickets across 16 shows, making it one of the most highly-anticipated Aussie tours of the year.
