Allan Kehoe has had some handy horses through his hands in twelve years as a professional trainer, but until recently a horse with that elusive X factor had never walked into his Wyong stables. Fate played a hand just over a year ago when a colt he was chasing at the Inglis Classic Sale was suddenly withdrawn by the vendor. That vendor knew of Allan's interest and called him unexpectedly a few days later.  That phone call triggered a deal which saw the Wyong horseman actually take out a three year lease on the son of freshman sire Sandbar. That colt now bearing the curious name of Shaggy is unbeaten in three starts, culminating in a dashing defeat of some hot opposition at Randwick on Feb 15th. Shaggy has lifted the profile of his hard working trainer literally overnight. I joined the media scrum last week in getting Allan to join me on the podcast just 48 hours after the talented horseman had “ bitten the dust” in a nasty spill on his private training track. He explains how the tumble happened and describes the extent of his injuries. Allan says Shaggy spent a few quiet days after the Randwick win in a spacious paddock on his Gorokan property near Wyong. He takes us back to last year's Inglis Classic Sale where he made a close inspection of the Sandbar colt, and expressed his interest to the vendor. Allan talks of the sire Sandbar who's had a flying start to his stud career thanks to the emergence of a very talented two year old in his first crop. The trainer has opted to run Shaggy in the Skyline Stakes on March 1st which leaves a three week corridor into the Golden Slipper. Allan explains how the youngster was given his curious name. He looks back on two brilliant wins at Coffs Harbour and on the Sunny Coast, and says he was quietly confident going into the Pierro Plate. The versatile horseman explains the reason why Aaron Bullock had to be replaced last minute by Adam Hyeronimus. Allan describes the facilities at his disposal on a twenty five acre property a stone's throw from Wyong racecourse where he also has 10 permanent boxes. He talks about his personal involvement in trackwork and explains that other Wyong trainers sometimes use his services. The 41 year old talks about the breaking-in and pre-training arm of his business.  He talks about his siblings and early life in Newcastle, Scone and Narromine. He looks back with gratitude on his first job and the opportunity to work with a great horseman. Allan says his four years with the late John Lundholm at Coonamble provided a great learning curve in his life. He looks back on time spent with other top horsemen in his formative years. Kehoe says his brief stint as a picnic jockey provided some of the happiest years of his racing life. Allan is proud to be a father of four. He and first wife Kelly are the parents of daughter Mikayla and son Beau who follow his progress as a trainer. He and partner Kim have a pigeon pair Mia and Jack. 14 year old Mia is displaying definite signs of considering a future as a jockey Allan looks back on the thrill of saddling up his first winner as a solo trainer in 2012, and pays tribute to some of the horses who've subsequently shaped his career. He mentions a couple who are currently in work.  Allan's been around for a long time and his reputation in the industry is a sound one. Shaggy has propelled him into new found prominence on the eve of the autumn carnival.

Life of Chance Podcast -  Ned Hanigan, Season 3 Episode 1Get to know your Wallabies This episode we get an insight into the life of Ned Hanigan.  Ned is a utility back row/lock for the Wallabies and the NSW Waratahs. Growing up in Coonamble, Central West NSW, Ned is a country boy. His passion for all things agriculture are big in his outside of rugby life. Moving to the big smoke in Sydney at St Josephs School in year 7, Ned developed as a rugby player going on to represent Australian Schoolboys (2013) and then into the Aus u20's gaining team MVP in 2015. Ned was offered his first full time team contract with the NSW Waratahs in 2016 and made his debut off the bench in the same year. 2017 saw Ned start 12 times with the Waratahs and also earn his debut for the Wallabies and the title of Rooke if the Year. Ned had a stint in Japan over 2020/21 playing for Karita Water Gush and spent a portion of 2023 playing for the well known Barbarians. Ned is a balanaced man who sees the responsibility he has to the youth who come to rugby union games as a role model and is a great giver back to the game. He has a wonderful balance in his life with outside of rugby passion and connection to back home. A really enjoyable chat, I hope you enjoy it!

Damien talks about the strategic benefits of training at Wyong. He talks of his many trips to faraway country meetings. He says improved bush prize money is a great incentive to take horses away. The trainer talks about his resolve to personally attend as many meetings as he can. Damien pays tribute to his father-in- law, former trainer Bob Law whose input is invaluable. He talks of Bob's success with unsound horses in the 80's and 90's. He acknowledges the contribution to the training operation of wife Kate who rides a power of trackwork at Wyong. Damien has nothing but praise for his stable apprentice Anna Roper who figures prominently on the NSW premiership ladder five months into the current season. He takes us back to early days in Coonamble and pays tribute to his late father, former jockey Frank Hodgson. Damien gives great credit to his uncle and mentor Cec Hodgson who's still training a small team in Coonamble. He recalls mother Narelle's insistence that her son complete a trade before settling on his career direction.  The trainer talks about his move to Wyong around the time of the dreaded Equine Virus. He says he worked for two local trainers in the early days. Damien says his fragile financial state propelled him into a full time job on the Wyong maintenance team. He looks back on the start of a friendship with two Victorian brothers who agreed to lease him a horse called Benny Blue Eyes- the horse to provide his magical first win. He would win another six races with the gelding. He talks of another horse he was able to lease from the same source- a horse who would become his all time favourite. He won ten races with Pirate Ben including two strong country Cups. Damien talks of subsequent veterans like All But Gone and Johnny Roo Boy who more than paid their way. The trainer says he's been able to find good homes for the genuine old geldings. He speaks highly of talented mare Buckin' Beauty who recently produced her first foal. Damien gives credit to fellow Wyong trainer Kristen Buchanan who recommended him to loyal client Bruce McKenzie. The trainer says it's been a pleasure to train several of the “Oakfield” horses for the thoroughly professional participant. He talks of his attachment to the famous Grafton July Carnival and the winning run he enjoyed in the Jacaranda city last year. Damien looks back on his Wellington Boot win with Sonnet Star and a subsequent crack at a Melbourne stakes race. This was the only time he's used his namesake, crack Victorian jockey Damian Lane (slight variation in the spelling of the christian name). “Wyong Damien” says the name similarity has caused a couple of ticklish situations behind the scenes. He acknowledges the long time assistance of veteran jockey Darryl “Digger” McLellan. A nice yarn with a dedicated horseman.

Caught up with Brian Fletcher at the recent Beauford Club luncheon at Newcastle where he was a guest speaker. His tales of the turf and stories from the Panthers camp kept the crowd entertained. It occurred to me at the time that Brian would make an excellent podcast guest. He happily agreed and here it is! Brian begins by reflecting on an amazing third straight premiership win by his beloved Panthers. He says he'd just about given up before Nathan Cleary began to weave some magic. As CEO of the Panthers Group, Brian talks about his association with Matt Cameron CEO of the Penrith Football Club, coach Ivan Cleary and the players. He talks of Ivan Cleary's triumphant return to the Panthers after a stint with the Wests Tigers. Brian looks ahead to the 2024 season and the likelihood of another premiership. He talks of his board involvement with Panthers before accepting the CEO's role, and his lifetime passion for the game of rugby league. He says his association with rugby league administration began in the days when Panthers became involved in Hawkesbury race sponsorship. Brian talks of his day to day role as CEO of the Panthers Group. He talks of early days at Coonamble where he was born in 1953 and where he learned the importance of work ethic from his parents. He talks of other notable natives of Coonamble to make their marks in racing. Brian looks back on jobs with the State Bank, the Coonamble Golf Club and the Shire Council. During his time with the State Bank he received a very worrying health scare. He looks back on his first racing experience as Honorary Treasurer of the cash strapped Coonamble Jockey Club. He remains deeply humbled by the Jockey Club's gesture in lending his name to the racecourse grandstand.  Brian reflects on the dawn of his new career as CEO of the Hawkesbury Race Club which was also in financial strife in 1989. He takes us through the amazing list of innovations and initiatives he was able to generate in his 28 years at Hawkesbury. He had a long battle before being able to announce the introduction of the first provincial stand alone Saturday meeting in Australia. Perhaps this was the achievement to give him the most pleasure. Brian recalls another unlikely project he was able to get off the ground- the construction of a motel on Hawkesbury Race Club property. He pays heartfelt tribute to the key people whose friendship and consultation influenced his career. Brian nominates the racehorse he believes is the best he's seen in action on the historic Clarendon course. The administrative dynamo pays heartfelt tribute to wife Wendy and daughters Sonya and Adele.  Brian Fletcher will turn 70 on Xmas Day 2023. He outlines plans for the future. This is a rousing yarn with one of the most successful sports administrators of his generation.

Food and Beverage Industry Summit is looking at all things from accelerating product development to addressing issues like plastic trends and packaging targets, Citrus SA is making moves to make their information more accessible with a Punjabi version of their newsletter and a farmer from Coonamble has won the Farmer of the Year for Excellence in Innovation, for using a soil moisture measurement system and drone-based weed mapping to minimise crop failure.

Jillian Kilby is not afraid of the big decisions. As an engineer and farmer's daughter from Coonamble, in the central west of New South Wales, Jillian has leant on her rural values right through her career. This courage has seen her go against the grain most of her life and bounce from Coonamble to Sydney to Walgett to Silicon Valley and back to the Central West. Now she's breathing new life into country heritage buildings while helping regional start-ups increase their capability, capacity and confidence because she knows all too well how lonely a road it can be starting a small business in the bush. It takes a certain level of guts to dig deep and blow up your life and Jillian has done it not once, but twice on an extraordinary scale.

When Harry Troy sang the praises of Dennis Firth in a podcast last year, I made it my business to track down the former 16 time western districts premiership winner. Dennis is now 72 years of age, and still residing in his much loved hometown of Coonamble. He's the kind of bloke who's not comfortable talking about his own achievements but after a little coaxing he hit top gear. Den humbly acknowledges the fact that he rode 1499 winners in an era when racing was held only once a week in the bush. He's adamant that a training career was never in the mix. Dennis says his retirement wasn't planned. It materialised following a race fall. The former outstanding jockey talks about a family history in Coonamble dating back to the late 19th century. He talks of his father George who was an in demand farrier in the district. Dennis looks back on the days when he would sneak onto the local racecourse early mornings with his trusty pony, and match strides with the thoroughbreds for a short distance. This was the catalyst for his later career. He says he stayed at school longer than most but showed no special aptitude in the classroom. Dennis looks back on his good fortune in gaining an apprenticeship with the extraordinary horseman John Lundholm. He pays tribute to John and wife Colleen. The former ace jockey has never forgotten his very first race ride at Gulargambone. He says it was a “slaughter”. His first win came later at Gilgandra. Dennis was a fairly frequent visitor to the city in his early years. He remembers his first metropolitan win on Bid Day at Randwick. He says other Sydney trainers occasionally sought the benefit of his claim. He tells the story of the Warwick Farm trainer who introduced him to fluid pills. The results were disastrous. Dennis talks of a Randwick win on Conra during the 1975 AJC Autumn Carnival. This was the day he met Conra's owner, the celebrated owner and breeder Stanley Wootton.  He remembers other winning days in town. He wore a famous set of colours when he won a race on Ballad, owned by AJC Chairman Sir Brian Crowley. Dennis recalls winning a race at Warwick Farm on Skipper King which earned him a special 2GB sponsor's award. He still has the trophy. Firth looks back on his one and only ride in a Gr 1 race. The conditions at Randwick were deplorable when he went around in the 1989 Sydney Cup. He talks of Marlotta, the mare he rode in that Sydney Cup. he says she was one of the best horses he rode in the western districts.  Like his good friend Harry Troy, Dennis had one race ride on the real Fine Cotton. He says the horse he rode couldn't possibly have won a race at Eagle Farm. Dennis nominates the horse he believes was potentially a top liner. He won some country races on the talented but unsound Gun Drift, a son of Gunsynd. He acknowledges Lord Dante, the tough old bush warrior he partnered in 25 wins. Dennis talks about some of the faraway meetings he patronised. He looks back on many multiple win days, and his enviable record in country Cup races. Dennis pays tribute to some of the wonderful bush jockeys who provided tough opposition on the western tracks. He remembers his loving mother Joan who died only last year at the remarkable age of 94.  Dennis talks of brother Rodney, and sisters Annette and Wendy. He pays tribute to Wendy's husband Brian Fletcher, long time CEO of the Hawkesbury Race Club and now occupying a similar role with the Panthers Group. He tells a funny little story about his brother-in-law at the Walgett races. Older racing people in the western region will have fond memories of the brilliant young jockey who wouldn't stop winning premierships. This is his story.

Tony Single is a 4th generation farmer who works alongside his family to run “Narratigah”, their family property, located southeast of Coonamble. They primarily run a winter and summer cropping program to maximise the productivity of stored soil moisture.  In today's episode, Tony explains why every decision on their farm is influenced by the goal to make every drop count. He also breaks down the potential risks in their farming system, including herbicide resistance, and how the family's venture into the ag-tech space is helping them identify weed populations, and maximise efficiency. Local Land Services Cropping advisor Tim Bartimote caught up with Tony for this chat on a strangely clear-skyed afternoon around the kitchen table at “Narritagah”.   Resources and links: Single Agriculture Website   Connect: Central West LLS website Central West LLS on Facebook Central West LLS on Twitter Central West LLS on YouTube   The views contained in this podcast series are not necessarily endorsed by Central West Local Land Services.

If you have ever been privy to Moorambilla Voices you will know it's power, giving rural children the chance to be a part of something so much bigger than themselves. Music, singing and instruments is innate for Michelle and her musically talented family who hail from the small rural town of Coonamble in NSW.

You may have heard of Ned Hannigan, if not, he's a professional rugby player. His rugby career has taken him around the world, so far he's played more than 50 games for the Waratahs, 25 games for the Wallabies, the highest honour & spent a bit of time playing in Japan as well. But Ned's a bloke from the bush, home is at Pasadena, the family property not too far from Coonamble in NSW. In this chat we talk about the journey Ned's been on, where rugby has taken him and how his mindset and perspective has shifted around who he is and what he does. The culture within high performance teams Realising that the dream as a professional athlete was coming true The importance of trying your best Lessons in blocking out the external noise and being kind to yourself Separating who you are from what you do

Social media can be a real mixed bag. There's so much juiciness about it – its power of connectivity, its ability to help forge new, global friendships, it' enriching escapism, its use as a portal to new worlds and as a tool for information.But there are the downsides, too. Trolls, for one. If you're not careful, Instagram can play perfectly into the hands of the old saying, comparison is the thief of joy. That's one of the reasons why Emily Herbert enjoyed today's guest so much. Marion Saunders is the fabulous woman behind the Instagram account @mazlifestyle and it is joy on a grid.Maz is a grandmother, designer, entrepreneur and something of an Insta It girl. She lives on a property near the tiny community of Carinda in the far north of NSW, nearly 90 kilometres from Walgett and 100km from Coonamble.Maz is cheerfulness personified. Em laughs out loud at some of her reels and just love her positivity and zest for life, and how she brings humour and a contagious sense of fun to her everyday. She's all about getting women to love the skin they're in; boosting confidence in her 30,000 followers.Yet her journey to representing self-love and confidence has been a long road - leaving high school when she was 16 after struggling with her sense of self and where she fit in.

Mick Doolan, with his wife Pip, own and manage "Walla Walla" — a 1,300 hectare mixed farm between Gulargambone and Coonamble. Mick and Pip manage the property themselves, focussing on breeding and fattening cattle, with the recent addition of cropping to add value to the livestock enterprise. In this episode, Mick discusses some important factors around the first 10 years of owning a farm. He also reflects on the value of good business advice and how joining a benchmarking group has challenged his ideas and helped him develop a new approach to decision making on the farm (especially on how to make good decisions during the harder seasons). Local Land Services Mixed Farming Advisor Callen Thompson caught up with Mick while he was taking a rain-induced break from sorghum planting.   Resources and links: Farm Business Resilience Program   Connect: Central West LLS website Central West LLS on Facebook Central West LLS on Twitter Central West LLS on YouTube   The views contained in this podcast series are not necessarily endorsed by Central West Local Land Services.

Coonamble Racing Club's Ken Waterford chats to Andrew Kuuse re todays Cup meeting

Today, we have a yarn with Kieran McHugh (or “Mac” to his mates). Mac is the manager of “Pier Pier”, a corporate-owned station 70 km north-west of Coonamble. They focus on merino sheep, dryland crops and also run trade and agistment cattle (when the season allows). In this episode, you’ll hear Mac’s unlikely story of how he ended up at Pier Pier, how he built a cost-effective feedlot to early wean 7,000 lambs, and why he took the unconventional approach to wean his lambs prior to lamb marking.   Resources and links: Case Study: Confinement feeding at Pier Pier, Coonamble   Connect: Central West LLS website Central West LLS on Facebook Central West LLS on Twitter Central West LLS on YouTube   The views contained in this podcast series are not necessarily endorsed by Central West Local Land Services.

Our farmers have been going through hell with one of the worst droughts in Australia's history. But with above average rainfall expected for winter, could the drought be breaking? Joining us today we speak to Dr Andrew Watkins (Head of Long-range Forecasts at the Bureau of Meteorology), James Nalder (a young cattle farmer from Coonamble in North West NSW) and Wayne Dunford (a Parkes farmer and the chair of the NSW Farmers Drought Taskforce).   In today's news headlines: Australian Black Lives Matter protests to draw tens of thousands tomorrow U.S. latest: George Floyd memorial held as violence subsides Travel snapshot: Aussies can now register their interest in July New Zealand holiday “I've just reseeded that!”: Guy tells PM, reporters to get off his lawn   In today's Briefing we ask: How much of Australia's food is sourced locally? Has the drought broken? Will the drought break? How do measure drought? Can we grow some crops in drought affected regions this winter/spring? What is required to guarantee water long-term? What is the impact on farmers? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
