COOLMORE SECURE HOME AFFAIRS’ GOLDEN SLIPPER WINNER GUEST HOUSE. Coolmore Australia is delighted to announce the acquisition of Home Affairs’ outstanding son Guest House, following his electrifying victory in the Group 1 Golden Slipper at Rosehill last weekend. Guest House stamped himself as the best two-year-old of his generation with an eye-catching performance in Australia’s premier two-year-old race. From the first crop of Coolmore’s own champion sprinter Home Affairs, Guest House’s triumph further enhances the reputation of his sire, who joined the likes of Extreme Choice and Danehill by producing a Golden Slipper winning colt from his first crop. Brilliantly managed by trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr., Guest House burst on the scene with a strong win in December, before running an unlucky placing in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes. Trainer Mick Price paid tribute to him, commenting “He’s been a special colt from day one. He has an abundance of natural speed, just like his sire, and to see him deliver like that in a Golden Slipper is incredibly rewarding. We’re delighted to see him secure his future at stud at Coolmore to stand alongside his own very exciting young sire.” Coolmore Australia’s Tom Magnier was quick to underline the significance of securing the colt, stating “Home Affairs is a stallion that we have had such great faith in for a number of years and Guest House has been on our radar since his debut win in December. He is exactly the type of colt we strive to stand at Coolmore – a Golden Slipper winner by a brilliant young sire, with the speed and physique to make a top-class stallion. The Slipper remains the most important stallion-making race in Australia and he couldn’t have been any more impressive in winning it.” Roll The Dice Racing and the existing owners will continue his racing career with Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr. before he ultimately retires to Coolmore Australia. #HomeOfChampions #CoolmoreSires

Lionel Scaloni on losing the FIFA World Cup final to Spain. 🗣️ “I’ve lost matches before, but nothing prepared me for this. The moment the final whistle blew, I looked at my players, I looked at my staff, then I looked at Leo… and I couldn’t hold back my tears. I broke down because I knew how much every single one of us had sacrificed to be here.” “When I saw Messi standing there in silence, it shattered me. At 39 years old he gave everything he had left for Argentina. Every sprint hurt, every touch carried responsibility, every minute was played with his heart. As his coach, watching him walk away without lifting the trophy is one of the most painful moments of my life.” “I walked into the dressing room and there wasn’t a single voice. Only tears. Men who fought for their country until they had nothing left were sitting there with their heads down. Leo apologized to us… apologized. Imagine that. The greatest player in history apologizing after giving us absolutely everything. That broke me even more.” “I told him, ‘No, Captain. Don’t you ever apologize. We followed you because you never stopped believing. You carried this shirt with pride until the very last second. If anyone should be thanking someone tonight, it’s Argentina thanking you.’” “This defeat will stay with me forever. Not because we lost a final, but because I witnessed one of the greatest footballers to ever live leave the biggest stage with tears in his eyes after giving his country everything he had. Some defeats hurt far deeper than the scoreboard.” “The trophy belongs to Spain tonight, and they deserve congratulations. But no result can erase what Lionel Messi means to Argentina. He didn’t fail us. He gave us a lifetime of memories, another unforgettable World Cup and one final lesson in courage. I’ll forever be proud that I had the privilege of coaching the greatest player football has ever seen.”

Something I feel enormously fortunate to have covered directly was Kyle Busch's 100th career O'Reilly Series win at Nashville in 2021. There's also a story from the press conference I'd like to share. Nashville 2021 was the first "normal" race weekend after peak COVID, which meant the garage was open and media availabilities would take place in the media center instead of remotely over Zoom (including from the press box). It was my first race working as a reporter in the media center, and I was still getting my bearings as far as in-person press conferences and talking off the cuff as opposed to doing things over Zoom. Daniel McFadin asked Kyle about which of his 100 wins were his favorites, a question which I had also wanted to ask. Kyle started talking about them and also about some of the ones he missed out on - Namely his debut at Charlotte in '03, which gave him a chance to take a tongue-in-cheek dig at all the criticism he got for racing in the series as much as he did. "That would've been cool. Damn Kenseth. Those Cup guys, they shouldn't run Xfinity. I don't know why they do." Kyle then got asked about the origins of the bow and recalled it starting with a win at Charlotte, but he couldn't remember the year - at which point I interjected "4!", which got him rolling again but maybe was a bit bold of me to do as someone who was still very new. It was my turn to ask a question next so I asked him about some of the sponsorship partners from all of his wins in the series and if he had heard from any of them. Afterwards, Kyle walked by my workspace while I still had the Racing Reference page for Charlotte 2004 up, so I mentioned it to Kyle again and quickly summarized with something along the lines of this: "It says you beat McMurray, Harvick, and Stewart that day. They were all in the top five." To which Kyle showed a bit of the quick wit he had: "Damn Cup guys."

Lamine Yamal on facing Lionel Messi in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final. 🗣️ “It’s difficult to describe what I’m feeling. As a footballer, playing in a World Cup final is already the biggest dream imaginable. But facing Lionel Messi… the same man who held me as a baby and was part of that famous photo when I was just six months old… makes it even more unbelievable.” “When I was growing up, I watched Messi every week. I studied everything he did. I copied his dribbles, his movements and the way he played with so much joy. Now I’m preparing to face him in the biggest match in football. Life works in incredible ways.” “What he’s doing at 39 years old is something the football world may never witness again. Most legends retire long before this age. Messi is still deciding World Cup matches, creating goals, leading Argentina and proving he’s still the player everyone fears the most.” “I watched him against England and honestly, it was frightening. Argentina were behind, the pressure was enormous, and then Messi completely changed the game with two magical assists. That’s what separates him from everyone else. When football becomes impossible, he somehow finds a solution.” “For me, he’s still the best player in the world. Age hasn’t changed his football intelligence, his vision or his ability to decide the biggest games. If anything, he’s become even calmer and more dangerous.” “This will be the first time I ever face him on a football pitch, and I couldn’t ask for a bigger stage than the World Cup final. I’ll respect him because he’s my idol, but once the whistle blows, I’ll give everything for my country.” “The little boy who was once in Messi’s arms is now standing across from him in a World Cup final. That’s a story I’ll cherish forever but for ninety minutes, there are no idols. There are only two teams fighting to make history.”

Thierry Henry on Rodri winning the World Cup Golden Ball without registering a goal or assist, ahead of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé. 🗣️ “First of all, let me be clear: Rodri is a world-class footballer, and I have enormous respect for him. But if you’re asking whether I understand this decision, I don’t. I honestly don’t.” “When people look back at this World Cup, they’ll remember Messi’s moments. They’ll remember Mbappé’s moments. They’ll remember the players who carried their teams when the pressure was at its highest. That’s what defines a tournament.” “Individual awards should reflect the player who left the biggest mark on the competition. For me, that isn’t something you decide by reputation or politics. You decide it by what happened on the pitch, and I think football deserved a different outcome.” “Messi was 39 years old and still controlling matches, creating chances and carrying Argentina on his shoulders. Mbappé was producing decisive moments for France. Both of them gave the tournament unforgettable memories. That’s why this decision will be debated for a very long time.” “This isn’t an attack on Rodri because he had an outstanding tournament. But respecting one player shouldn’t stop us from questioning a decision. Football is built on debate, and I believe this award will remain one of those decisions that many supporters simply won’t agree with.” “The Golden Ball is just one trophy. History is much bigger than a vote. Years from now, people will remember the football they watched, the players who made them jump out of their seats and the moments that defined this World Cup. That’s what lasts forever.”
