The Pumper's de-pumped...Jim Cassidy has been suspended for three months after testing positive to a banned substance. JC pleaded guilty to having provided a sample containing an unnamed banned substance at a Warwick Farm meeting on Oct 4. The ban runs until Feb 3.

Back on the List...Glyn Schofield is OK to ride Hay List in his showdown with Black Caviar in Sat's Grp 1 Patinack Farm Classic. GS was suspended for 7 meetings from the Salinger ride on Quick Peek but on appeal he had one meeting removed which allows him to ride on Sat.

Hong Kong here he comes...Melbourne Cup supremo Americain is after the Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin on Dec 12. Winning jockey Gerald Mosse and trainer Alain de Royer Dupre won the Vase last year with Daryakana.

Have we ever seen such a low-key, unemotional response to a Melbourne Cup win as that displayed by French trainer Alain de Royer Dupre? He looked as if he'd just won a cheap Maiden at Longchamp. Lucky that jockey Gerald Mosse was bright, ebullient and willing to show his emotions.
