It’s taken more than five years to get the story of the 2002 Melbourne Cup into print form, an experience I encapsulate in these brief comments.

My livelihood is based on a simple concept: I ask questions, listen to answers, and then piece together my thoughts in a compelling manner. Which is why I am absolutely intrigued by the one question that I am continually asked about writing The Cup.
Let’s hope this video clip, which ran at the launch of The Cup at Flemington, answers this question once and for all.

August 11, 2009 – 12:00 am
Richard Stubbs gets Damien Oliver to open up about a wide range of topics in this excellent half hour interview. Many go right to the heart of The Cup – hurrying home to Perth from Melbourne after learning of his brother’s fall, deciding whether or not to return and ride in the Cup, and the unexpected bit of encouragement he received from his late brother that got him back in the saddle for the Cup Carnival.

I’ve been called a lot of names in my time, but this one is music to my ears: ”an American bloke.” Like so many Aussies, Tim Watson and Andy Marr are passionate about the Cup. And it shows. I can’t wait to pop in to the studio and visit with them face to face during the Cup Carnival.

AUDIO: 1116 SEN On the Rise
August 2, 2009 – 12:00 am
For a couple of guys who have to be up well before the crack of dawn, Jason Richardson and Daniel Harford definitely have a good time. I really enjoyed listening in before my interview, and the way they led into it – by playing Greg Miles’s call as Media Puzzle makes that stunning move at the top of the straight – was great radio.
