There are countless stories of Salisbury and Subzero putting smiles on faces in places where grins are few and far between. “The dynamic and remarkably unique duo of Australian racing, epitomised in its much broader community senses, never shirked their challenges over this time to deliver so much to so many over a quarter of a century together,” Clark wrote in his obituary on Subzero’s Facebook fan page yesterday. “Graham was even planning a ‘last dance’ with Subbie as he was facing his own. “The inseparable duo – ‘he was like a son to me,’ Graham would say – may now be separated physically, but their impact remains ever- lasting and without peer. I remember a stark but now real conversation with Graham that went, ‘I hope I go before him because I couldn’t live without him.’” Both had battled their fair share of health problems in recent years. Salisbury was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006 and had fought the disease and its many side effects on and off in the 14 years since.

  • Welcome to the June 2015 Edition of the Donn Mcclean Racing Newsletter
    Welcome to the June 2015 edition of the Donn McClean Racing Newsletter. Royal Ascot review Where to start with a review of Royal Ascot? There were some outstanding equine performances, like Solow’s in the Queen Anne Stakes, Time Test’s in the Tercentenary Stakes and Muhaarar’s in the Commonwealth Cup. And there was extraordinary human endeavour. Just about every single horse that Aidan O’Brien ran put up a performance that either surpassed or equalled its best previous performance. The champion trainer had five winners, and if the ball had hopped a little differently, he could have had six or seven. Ryan Moore had nine, more than any other rider in the post-war era. Moore has set the bar high, and he continues to raise it higher and higher. If there is such a thing as the best flat rider in the world, then Ryan Moore is it. There were other equine performances that might have been better than the bare form suggests, and which therefore may provide betting angles for the future. Bronze Angel did well to finish as close as he did in the Royal Hunt Cup given that he raced prominently from early in a race that was run to suit the hold-up horses, as the Royal Hunt Cup usually is. The Corsican made eye-catching ground from the rear in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes in a race in which the early pace held up well. Udododontu went for home very early in the Britannia, his turn of foot deployed just a little early in a race run over a stiff straight mile for a horse whose optimum trip is probably seven and a half furlongs.
