First it was Max Presnell giving smart-aleck apprentice Daniel Ganderton some 'advice' (see earlier Hot Gossip item) and now another veteran scribbler (retired, almost) Ken Callander is handing out the advice. In his column in the Daily Telegraph, KC says: 'Daniel Ganderton will be back riding for peanuts in Tasmania if he does not realise quick-smart Ray Murrihy is the boss of Sydney racing...Ganderton, who got himself in hot water after making a mockery of a stewards inquiry on Saturday, is a very talented young rider, but if he doesn't change his attitude he will finish on the scrapheap.'

He says: 'John Ferguson, the messenger boy for the sheiks, has tried to put a spin on it by telling us it is a "massive compliment to Australian racing"...Please John, we don't fall for smooth-talking Pommies any more. Tell it for what it is, a raping of our top-class horses for the pleasure of the sheiks on the other side of the world.There is nothing illegal about it. If you have enough money you can do almost anything, but don't try to make out you are doing us a favour.'
