Race Oncology launches Phase I RC220 trial in Australia

Race Oncology CEO and MD Daniel Tillett talked with Proactive about the opening of patient enrollment at the first Australian clinical site for the RC220 Phase I solid tumour trial. Tillett confirmed that the trial is now underway, with additional sites expected to follow soon. The focus of this early-stage study is to determine a safe and effective combination dose of RC220 with the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin. According to Tillett, “our drug has the advantage… not only does it improve the anti-cancer treatment, but it protects the heart, at least in animals and cells to date.” He noted the choice of Southside Cancer Centre as the initial site, citing the faster startup process compared to public hospitals. Other sites, including Gosford and Wyong, have also received ethics approval and are expected to join the trial following regulatory clearance. Tillett discussed the use of a Bayesian trial design, which allows quicker progression and minimises patient exposure to suboptimal doses. While this approach can introduce uncertainty in timelines, it is expected to be more beneficial overall for patients and the company. Early preclinical data has shown that RC220 can reduce doxorubicin-related toxicity while enhancing cancer treatment outcomes, a combination Tillett described as unique among current therapies. Beyond the trial, Race Oncology is conducting separate preclinical studies to identify the most effective drug combinations using RC220. Tillett noted that more updates on this work are expected in the coming months.

This week on ‘Work Hates' we chat with television presenter, comedian, mother and a pillar of Australian entertainment, Julia Morris. She has been in the industry for (in her words) “75 years” so she has seen more dreadful gigs than anyone in the world. Her career has been spectacular from the outside, and her tenacity has allowed her to stay in a profession that has been infamously unenthusiastic towards women. Julia has been thrown under the bus on national television by colleagues in search of a leg-up, and she has also embraced younger talent wholeheartedly. This is a self-made woman who walks into a room with her heart on her sleeve, and even though she may not remember anyone's name, she is absolutely willing to pretend she has. We could have spoken to Lady Julia Morris of Gosford for hours, so you're in for a treat. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Gosford Glyphs (also referred to as the Kariong Hieroglyphs), are a set of around 300 rock carvings that are associated with many conflicting and intriguing stories of origin. Situated within Brisbane Waters National Park, on the New South Wales Central Coast, Australia. They are nestled deep within this intriguing landscape, heavily populated with many Indigenous sacred sites, such as The Grandmother Tree, significant landmarks and rock carvings. The Hieroglyphs have caught the attention of many locals - and international people alike. Having never visited this site before, Shannon and Laura thought it was time to put on their walking shoes, play dodge the mozzie (and snake), and get exploring!

Steve Hart was just 23 years old when he joined the ranks of Sydney's race photographers in 1983. It didn't take him long to showcase the flair, the creativity and the energy needed to chase the right shots through a long day at the races. Most importantly he made a million friends along the way. We got Steve to sit still long enough to record a special interview about his life and the career he chose above all others.  He begins by looking back on his final day at the races. The inevitable emotion was put aside until he'd “fired off” his final shot.  Steve says he's been a stickler throughout his career for an early arrival at the track. He talks of the miles he'd cover getting from point to point on race day. Randwick was the toughest venue. Steve talks of the amazing advances in camera technology. The 64 year old takes us back to his English childhood and the long sea voyage to Australia with his parents and two brothers. He recalls his father John securing a job in the building trade just two days after arriving in Sydney. Steve talks about his time at Manly High School and his burgeoning interest in photography. He talks of his first job in the trades.  The gun photographer remembers with clarity his first trip to a racecourse- a day at Gosford with the family. The die was cast on that fateful day. Steve talks about his application to the AJC for a photographer's role and the nerve wracking interview with the club's CEO. He recalls his very first day of operation on a Sydney track and the established photographers he worked alongside. Steve looks back on a couple of casual jobs necessary to supplement his income. He looks back on a couple of dramatic changes to the landscape in the photographic ranks and talks of an enduring friendship with Mark Bradley.  Steve acknowledges the support of one particular journalist in those early days. Of the thousands of finishes he's photographed over forty years he has a personal favourite. Steve never got to photograph Kingston Town but the champion remains his all time favourite.  The respected professional decided in 1984 to gain accreditation to work through the Victorian spring carnival. He got some unforgettable photos of the champions right through to the Covid pandemic. Steve says he always took three or four cameras to the races, and explained his technique in photographing race finishes. He explains the importance of monitoring camera settings from day to day. Photographers often walk backwards in search of the right shot. Steve has never “bitten the dust” but knows of one who did. The veteran photographer talks of his two children with wife Mary. He pays tribute to Adam and Rachel and gives his only grandchild a special mention. Steve talks of his two favourite achievements without the camera. He talks of his diversion from race day photography. From time to time Steve switches his camera to video mode, and goes on the road to interview some of racing's best known names.  The Steve Hart story is an inspiring one. The young English lad who came to a new nation and followed his dream.

Another loss for the Wests Tigers on the weekend, but is this side slowly starting to turn the corner? Yes, we conceded 42 points and made some pretty big and costly blunders, but the Wests Tigers' young guns showed what they are made of with some silky tries. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel Helmes is joined by Garry Watson and Nick Hayes for a full review of the 42-28 loss to the Bunnies in Gosford. Aside from a healthy array of very diverse 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum, some of the main talking points included: The impressive performance of Tallyn Da Silva Do we stick with Luke Laulilii in the NRL side, or give him some NSW Cup time? The continued struggle of some of the team's experienced players The use of the bench this year, and this game Are the Wests Tigers on the up?  We mention some of the crazy clickbait Wests Tigers stories doing the rounds. And, out of left field, Joel brings up a possible external recruitment option for season 2025. Unfortunately, it's not a post-victory edition (they are the best kind), but we still hope you enjoy listening to the latest installment of the Wests Tigers Podcast.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a pleasure to welcome Terry Evans to the podcast- the trainer who happens to be the sole occupant of on course stabling at the Tuncurry-Forster racecourse on the NSW north coast. Terry was there when the new track was granted a licence by Racing NSW in 2009. This podcast was recorded two days before Sir Ravanelli scored an impressive win on a rain sodden Newcastle track. Terry rates the grey gelding as the best horse he's trained to date. He begins by reflecting on the enthusiasm and commitment of the new Tuncurry-Forster Jockey Club when he arrived fifteen years ago.  Terry pays tribute to the Jockey Club's dedicated President Gary McQuillan. He remembers a conversation with a friend at a Port Macquarie meeting in 2009. At that time he was unaware a new track was under construction at nearby Tuncurry-Forster.  Terry talks about the purchase of the racecourse a few years ago by Racing NSW. The trainer talks about the facilities available to him. He explains the benefits of his 20 acre property at nearby Rainbow Flat. Terry and wife Julie had a frightening experience a few years ago when the property was threatened by the raging NSW north coast bushfires. He says the fires also got dangerously close to the racecourse stables. He was in total disbelief just twelve months later when floodwaters looked likely to inundate the stables. Terry expresses his appreciation of the talents and work ethic of Gonzalo Aguila, an Argentinian horseman who walked into the stables looking for a job. He looks back on early days in Balmain when he realised a dream by landing a sand boy's role with the famous Balmain Tiger's RL team. Terry pays tribute to two former Balmain legends who were his inspiration at the time. He reflects on his playing days in the Balmain Juniors and his transition to the Under 23 ranks. Memories of his very first game at the higher level remain vivid for all the wrong reasons. Terry reminisces about his entry into the thoroughbred world at a Southern Highlands stud farm. This is where he gained valuable experience working with mares and foals. A regular visitor to the property was a young lady who worked for the Horse Power Feed Company. Julie was destined to become his wife. He looks back on a move to Julie's horse property at Dural and his appointment as a yearling handler at nearby Shillington Park. In the early 1990's Terry and Julie established their own spelling and pre-training business near Wyong. They were delighted when the business grew rapidly but in the end it became too much for them. He says this was the catalyst for his transition to horse training. He talks of a low key start at Gosford, and the help he received from the resident CEO. Terry looks back on the magical occasion of his first training win. He reminisces about a win with Verrekeen at Gosford in 2009. It was the very last race called by the retiring Ian Craig. It was a costly exercise for winning jockey Hugh Bowman. Terry acknowledges other horses who've helped him along the way. This podcast was taped a couple of days before Sir Ravanelli's impressive win at Newcastle on May 11th. Terry recalls his acquisition of the gelding on the recommendation of a NZ bloodstock agent. He talks of the care and attention necessary to keep on top of the horse's foot problems.  The trainer looks back on Sir Ravanelli's achievements so far. He talks of the grey's ownership group, one of whom is ace race photographer Steve Hart. He talks of the current progress of his old football team and the emotional attachment that persists to this day. Terry talks of Julie's return to the nursing profession and son Troy's love of a punt. It's a laid back chat with yet another member of that exclusive club known as the “Balmain Boys”.

The Gosford racing precinct has never had a better ambassador than Angela Davies. The amiable trainer was born and reared in a cottage opposite the racecourse float entrance and hasn't strayed far since. This is the story of a young girl who was pestering local trainers at five or six years of age, and has never wanted to do anything else but train racehorses.  Angela had just returned from the Randwick trials when we called, and was pretty excited about one of her twelve horse team. She talks fondly of Our Kobison with whom she's won five recent races. The story behind this talented four year old is an inspiration to racing's smaller players. Angela takes us back to childhood days when she'd be out of bed in the dark to watch Gosford trackwork. Mum had one firm rule before she'd allow her daughter to leave the house. She talks about her father Bruce, a former on course bookie who found an alternative way to service customers. Bruce vehemently discouraged her from becoming a jockey. Angela reflects on the days when a stranger would climb onto the roof of the family home on Gosford race days. The trainer takes us back to her early days in the show ring and the little business venture she started on gaining her first job. She's never forgotten the first horse she trained in her own right- a $1000 filly purchased straight out of a paddock. Angela remembers her first yearling sale purchase- the $1250 dollar colt who was destined to become her first winner. He had a few quirks. The devoted horsewoman started to buy cheap yearlings from low key sales. She looks back on some of the early winners to bring her talents under notice. She talks of Clipper who was in foal when she came into the stable. She didn't have much time but managed to win at Scone and Randwick with the expectant mum. Angela talks of She's A Stalker who won two in town and a Wyong 3YO Magic Millions. She fondly remembers the talented Waitandwatch. Angela acknowledges a few other horses  to play a part in bringing her name to potential owners. She talks of the little property at nearby Narara from which she's been training her horses for almost three decades. Angela takes us through the background story of the Wanted colt she hoped to buy for $5000. She was stressed when she had to go to $7500. She takes us through the wonderful journey that led Through The Cracks to his win in the Provincial Championship Final, a dream result for his ten excited owners. The trainer speaks fondly of Salina Dreaming who showed great talent despite several niggling issues. Angela talks of her three year respite from racing in the late 1990's to join the motherhood ranks. She pays tribute to daughter Georgia and son Jarred. She's both surprised and delighted to regularly hear from potential owners seeking shares in modestly priced horses.  This is a lovely yarn with a trainer whose effervescent personality shows through from go to whoa!

Great to catch up with Wayne Harris at a racing luncheon in early December. I was reminded of the fact that the former star jockey was one of our very early podcast guests in 2018. When I suggested an updated interview was called for, he said in typical Harris fashion,  “are you sure people would want to hear my story again.” Who wouldn't want to hear the story of the kid from Muswellbrook who burst onto the racing scene in the late 1970's with riding performances well beyond his years. When doctors virtually ordered his retirement in early 1997, Wayne had ridden well over 2000 winners including more than 30 Gr 1's. His Melbourne Cup win on Jeune in 1994 was lauded by all in the Australian racing industry. His stellar record was achieved despite numerous injuries, a constant battle with weight and several major illnesses. He continues to deal with the legacy of those setbacks. Wayne brings us up to date on a current immobility dating back to early spinal issues. He talks of his Doctor's reluctance to perform any further surgery. Wayne talks of his involvement with Sky Thoroughbred Central from Kembla Grange race meetings.  He looks back on childhood days in Muswellbrook and pays tribute to his devoted parents and siblings. Wayne reflects on his early education in a local convent where he was sometimes at loggerheads with the nuns.  He talks of a transfer to Muswellbrook High School and his obsession with sport. He excelled in several pursuits. The former champion jockey looks back on his brief love affair with boxing. He talks of work experience in the Pat Farrell stables and his subsequent apprenticeship to the same trainer. He says the going got tough at times. Wayne recalls the inauspicious occasion of his first race ride, and his initial win on the same horse. He reflects on his rapid rise as an apprentice jockey with special mention of his first metropolitan win. Wayne remains very proud of his achievement at Randwick in  late 1978 when he became the first Australian apprentice to ride five city winners on one programme. He talks of the amazing support he was getting from top Sydney stables and highlights a Golden Slipper win for Bart Cummings at 18 years of age. He says Bart had to be talked into putting him on Century Miss. Wayne reflects on four other Slipper placings and says a couple of them were unlucky. The 63 year old looks back on his record breaking apprenticeship and says he was aware that Steve Cauthen was doing incredible things in America at the same time. He says his weight had become very unstable by the time he entered the ranks of fully fledged jockeys. He was always buoyed by pleasant surprises like an AJC Sires Produce Stakes win on a 200/1 “pop”. Wayne talks of his dangerous diets and the strange symptoms that heralded the onset of his first brain tumor at age 22. He looks back on a seven hour surgery, and the undying devotion of family. He acknowledges several special people whose support helped to get him back into the saddle. Wayne recalls the surprised looks on the faces of AJC staff when he requested a re-issue of his jockey's licence. He's never forgotten the support of the Gosford race crowd on September 29th 1983- the day he returned to the saddle. He had two rides for two memorable wins. Harris was back! The former champion jockey fondly remembers his amazing comeback- 15 wins from his first 18 rides. He was overwhelmed by the support of trainers. Wayne reflects on several of his Gr 1 wins and on the disappointment of missing a Cox Plate ride on champion Kingston Town. Harris looks back on successful riding stints in Singapore and Hong Kong.  He talks of a Blue Diamond win for David Hayes and his booking for St Covet in the AJC Sires Produce Stakes. He was engaged principally because St Covet was expected to pull over the 1400m trip. He also reviews a Caulfield Guineas win on the same colt. Then to Wayne's favourite story- how he landed the ride on Jeune in the Melbourne Cup, his recollections of the race and the celebrations that followed. He recalls the bittersweet experience of riding Jeune in the Japan Cup and the traumatic health issue that followed. Wayne recalls the first up performance he rates as Jeune's best effort, and subsequent rides on the chestnut. He has fond memories of supplying Gai Waterhouse with her first Melbourne Gr 1. Wayne always took his A game when he rode overseas. He remembers a stunning win on Monopolise in the Hong Kong Bowl. Some say it was his best ever ride. He was delighted to review a short but happy stint in Ireland under contract to the Kevin Prendergast stable. Wayne talks of a successful stint in jockey management.  He recalls his disappointment in 1997 when doctors advised him to quit the saddle following the onset of immobility in one leg. He talks of his Rosehill swansong when he went close to a winning double. Wayne speaks of Aimee and Matthew, the son and daughter shared by he and first wife Linda. He comments on the widely held theory that he would have reached dizzy heights had he been a few kilos lighter. Wayne pays tribute to long time partner Tracy who offers him devoted support. This is perhaps the longest interview Wayne Harris has ever given. I'm sure you'll enjoy every word from a jockey of boundless talent and a human being of courage and resolve. The Wayne Harris story is one of great inspiration.

She looks back on another serious accident that had nothing to do with race riding.  Jess recalls her frustration that she wasn't able to win a race at Randwick during her apprenticeship. She quickly corrected that anomaly. The jockey pays special tribute to Kembla trainer Theresa Bateup for whom she's ridden more winners than any other trainer. Jess and partner Katie are raising two wonderful kids on the Central Coast. She talks warmly of Evelyn and Noah. Jess doesn't take for granted her ability to ride at a featherweight.

John Powell was at a loose end when he returned to Australia in 2021 after calling time on his long riding career in Singapore. It wasn't long before Racing NSW enlisted his services as a mentor for northern NSW jockeys, and more recently Gary Kliese has snapped him up for a co-hosting role on Sky Thoroughbred Central's coverage of northern rivers racing. It's almost forty years since John Powell began his apprenticeship with Helen Page at Warwick Farm. In a 37 year riding career he rode 1400 winners in five jurisdictions, more than half of them in Singapore. We were able to pin him down recently for a lengthy chat about his fascinating journey in racing. John begins by explaining how his opportunity with Sky Thoroughbred Central came up.  He says his main focus is on the characteristics of horses and tactics employed by jockeys. John says he'd barely settled back in Australia when he got a surprise phone call from Corey Brown on behalf of Racing NSW. The former top jockey takes us back to childhood days at Campbelltown and talks about the family friend who introduced him to Helen Page. He recalls his delight when Warwick Farm trainer Frank Bacon gave him his very first race ride.  John hasn't forgotten his very first winner at Gosford for his boss Helen Page. He admits the ride wasn't pretty. The chief steward spoke to him on the day about an entirely different matter. He fondly remembers his magical first city winner at Canterbury in 1987. Powell recalls multiple wins on the Guy Walter trained Prince Invader- a very important horse to the young rider in those early days. He has never forgotten a pick-up ride on brilliant sprinter Show County. He got the ride during a jockey's strike when every runner at a Warwick Farm meeting was ridden  by an apprentice. The recently retired jockey looks back on his affinity with Kembla Grange racecourse. In one season in the late 80's he was champion Kembla apprentice. He talks of Shane Edmonds, another talented apprentice who was with Helen Page at the same time. John talks about his addiction to diuretics, the demon pills used by many jockeys in days gone by to help them excrete water through the kidneys. Diuretics gave jockeys a simple way of losing weight on race days. They were very dangerous long term. He looks back on several short term contracts in Mauritius- a unique racing environment. John talks of his very successful stint in Macau. It was here a Panamanian jockey helped him to fine tune his riding style. He looks back on some of the outstanding horses he got to ride in Australia including a few of Bart Cummings' topliners. John talks of his association with John Hawkes which led him to a full season in Brisbane. The champion trainer once entrusted John with a barrier trial ride on champion Octagonal. He still talks about it. He looks back on his appointment as stable jockey for Don Baertshiger in Singapore- a partnership that would last for many years. John says he got away to a “flyer” in Singapore by winning the Gr 1 Derby on Hello And Goodbye. It was Kiwi trainer Bruce Marsh's first Singapore win. He talks of his first win in the Kranji Mile and a second Singapore Derby. John reflects on a Kranji Mile win for Laurie Laxon and a QE2 Cup success. The former ace jockey talks openly about his cancer scare. The discovery of a lump on his neck during a routine medical check led to further scans. Thyroid cancer was detected. Covid enforced travel restrictions delayed John's return to Sydney for crucial surgery. He says the thyroid complication sent his weight on a spiral, and he knew his riding days were numbered.
