Tara Talks Racing - Vintage Autumn?

Tara Madgwick - Monday February 16

We had a taster of what's to come for Autumn Carnivals in Sydney and Melbourne and we're talking three year-olds - colts and fillies - , the Blue Diamond conundrum and whether it's better to protect a winning streak or chase greatness... or is it possible to do both!

Autumn Glow returns from win number nine- how many more wins will she rack up in 2026 and in what races?  - image Bradley Photos

One thing we do agree on is that the Blue Diamond barrier draw on Tuesday morning is going to be all important!  Stay tuned.
