Geelong Premiership Winners in 2009

It’s been a great week for the Cats supporters in Geelong after Saturday’s Premiership win against St.Kilda in the 2009 AFL Premiership. The biggest single bet placed for Geelong was written in the newspapers at $177,000 compared to $10,000 for St Kilda. Not surprising for the Melbournian punters sure love their footy.

Media Puzzle won Geelong Cup in 2002 and Melbourne Cup 2002

The Geelong Cup is run over 2400 metres and is considered a great proxy for horses going into the Melbourne Cup.  Media Puzzle won the Geelong Cup in 2002 with Damien Oliver on board and went on to win the Melbourne Cup in the same year.

Who can forget Damien raising his hand to the sky in salute of his brother who died tragically from a race fall in Perth in the same year.
