Melbourne. Broken collarbone.

Perth '91- broken wrist.

Perth '88- ankle.

You sound almost proud of them.

Nah, I'm just happy

to have survived.

How can you avoid it?

Sometimes you can't.

Sometimes you can.

- Just part of the business.

- Hmm.

Sometimes I wonder

if it's all worth it.

It is.

- And so are you.

- (Laughs) Don't.

# TAXIRIDE:
Get Set.

Good morning.

First three even.

Gallop home for last two.

# Get set, everybody

# Get set

# We're on our way to meet you

# On our way

# Too late, everybody

# Too late

# We're on our way to nowhere...

# On our way... #

Hey.

# And I will be there

# Kick out your seat

Let's elevate

# Hold on to what you know

is gonna break

# A roller-coaster ride

inside your mind

# Is what you need

to terrify you

# Don't you know, baby

# Get set, everybody

# Get set

# We're on our way

# On our way

# To meet you... I

I'll make it even easier

for you.

We go straight to the clubhouse

and you two start buying drinks.

We won't waste more time

watching your brother

three-putt this shot.

'Cause let's face it - Tiger

Woods couldn't make this putt.

JASON:
No-one could sink

this putt

with all the racket

you're making.

JASON:
It's perfect, my boy.

DAMIEN:
Get over there.

LEE:
No. Way too fast.

DAMIEN:
Get over there.

JASON:
The Brothers Oliver

snatch victory

with the last shot of the match!

- JASON:
Oh, whoa, oh, oh.

- (Lee chuckles)

LEE:
Missed it! Bad luck.

Oh, no!

JASON:
My boy! (Laughs)

NEIL:
He didn't, did he?

JASON:
Oh, yes, he did.

Oh, yes, he did.

(Damien laughs)

Oh, yes!

It's not the prettiest shot,

but I'll take what I can get.

You're doing that already,

aren't you, with that Irishman?

Ah, here we go.

Who's one of the best trainers

in the world,

and that's good for Ollie.

It's good for Damien, is it?

You're his manager -

you should know better.

The only one it's ever good

for is Dermot Weld.

Vinnie Roe's won every

stakes race in Europe.

Don't think for a moment

you're even going to get

to sit on that horse.

Dermot's got Pat Smullen

for Vinnie.

- No, for you he's got...

- Media Puzzle. I know.

The owners want me

to ride Vinnie Roe.

I've even spoken to Dermot.

He's fixed on me

riding Media Puzzle.

That horse is a dog.

If Dermot's bringing him out,

he's no slouch.

That horse sat out all of

last year with a broken pelvis!

He hasn't even qualified,

has he?

We're gonna qualify him

at Geelong.

You hope.

Does he always get this mad

when he has to buy the beers?

No, no. He gets this mad because

he always has to buy the beers.

I mean, for all we know,

Media Puzzle will break down

as soon as he arrives.

And suddenly Australia's
