Mitch Cohen's Blackbook: Five to follow from 2025 Civic Stakes day at Royal Randwick

Racenet and The Daily Telegraph racing expert Mitch Cohen has analysed all the action from Saturday's Civic Stakes meeting and has found a few worth following in the coming weeks. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section.

Lulumon (race 7): Surged home from just off the speed to nail Storm The Ramparts on the line with a last 600m of 33.13 seconds that was among the best of the meeting.

‘Cannot let that go': Ugly moment proves Carlton has lost the plot

Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Leading Fox Footy analyst David King has exposed Carlton in brutal fashion after an ugly moment during their loss to North Melbourne. The Blues were 'bullied' in eyes of legendary goalkicker Jonathan Brown as North Melbourne came from behind to leave the axe hovering over Carlton coach Michael Voss' head with a 13.6 (84) to 10.13 (73) win at the MCG. Leading by nine points at the first change, Carlton gave up 12 goals to three over the next two quarters as fans began booing Blues players. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. King on Sunday showed a concerning sight for Blues supporters when cameras captured a moment where star ruckman Tom De Koning was 'put into the fence' by Kangaroos ruckman Tristan Xerri without any counter-strikes from angry Blues teammates. Blues star Patrick Cripps and Ollie Hollands were the only players to make an effort on De Koning's behalf. King said the moment tells you everything you need to know about the Blues as their season slipped to a 6-8 record. You can watch the footage in the video player above. Vision shared on Fox Footy. 'Ollie Hollands comes up and gives the most gentle of taps, the captain (Patrick Cripps) walks in and hardly affects Xerri's walking pattern. What is that from Adam Cerra?,' King said. 'Not one other player comes in to remonstrate as their big ruckman gets to his feet.' King showed another piece of vision from behind the goals which showed Xerri walked past Blues players at the interval and wasn't met with any hostile treatment, reports. 'Every team I played in would've come for him and made a stand: 'We're not having that happen to one of our boys. This is one of our brothers. This is the guy we go to battle with. I've got your back, you've got mine',' King added. 'That is not the case at Carlton and that permeates through the group. You cannot let that go unchecked. 'When Michael Voss says, 'We were bullied today', that's what he's talking about. 'A Carlton fan would be saying: 'What's happened to my proud club? Where's the fight?' King said it's a moment Carlton's senior players would want back to make a stand for their teammate. 'Patrick had to be stronger. I don't care if he gave away a free kick, the game was gone anyway. I was really disappointed,' the Roos great said. 'In that moment you're allowed to lose your mind a fraction. 'Jacob Weitering, Sam Docherty, George Hewett. They've got so many senior core players who could've done more to fly the flag.' The heat is well and truly on Brisbane Lions legend Voss. Disappointed Carlton players Tom De Koning and Charlie Curnow walk from the ground after the loss. Photo by. Gerard Healy commented on Fox Footy: 'Vossy needs a miracle right now.' That's when Brown gave the ultimate insult towards an established team facing one of the most inexperienced lists in the AFL. 'They're getting bullied,' he said of the Blues. 'They're getting beaten up, they're getting beaten up by a younger midfield for North Melbourne. The whole team for that matter. 'Michael Voss would be extremely disappointed. When a team physically confronts you, you either stand up or you roll over. 'Carlton have rolled over against a younger team.' When the Blues kicked the ball from side to side in their back half nearing three-quarter-time, the boos continued and Brown said: 'This isn't going to get you back in the game. 'That's why the crowd's booing.' Originally published as 'Cannot let that go': Ugly moment proves Carlton has lost the plot

Lewis Bishop makes Aussie Dolphins team for the 2025 World Para Swimming Championships in Singapore, September 21-27

Don't miss out on the headlines from Local sport. Followed categories will be added to My News. Aussie World Para Swimming Championship selection, Queensland's Lewis Bishop, knows the highs and lows of life like few others. Why? Because he saw rock bottom, a near-death experience 10 years ago which motivated him to strive for one of his proudest moments - winning at bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games 'There were so many years building up to that moment, and the fact that my parents were there was special,'' said Lewis, a butterfly ace. 'It was my first team and I did not have the expectation of winning a medal so the bronze medal was almost unbelievable at the time.'' Para Swimming Athlete Lewis Bishop at QSAC Picture David Clark To think it was just 10 years ago when Bishop, aged nine, went to hell and back. Bishop, now 19, was living in PNG with his mum and dad, Clare and Damon, where his dad worked in the mines and his mother ran a swimming squad for locals. One day he was out on the water knee boarding with family friends when he jumped into the water and got his leg caught in the propeller. The injuries were so horrific, he was at death's door. 'I almost died,'' 19-year-old Bishop said. He was in a critical condition, flown to Townsville hospital that night, and after a week transported to Brisbane. Bishop had his leg amputated below the knee, but the wound became infected and had to be amputated higher up. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what the bottom of the barrel looks like and Bishop saw it. He then continued to push through more adversity before, 12 operations later, Bishop's life started to swing around. 'Within a few months (after the accident) I was walking again, and a few months after that I was active again back in the pool.'' Lewis Bishop with his 2024 Paris Paralympic Games. Picture: QUT A bit of tough love from mum helped him get back into the pool. 'I'd like to say mum basically tipped me out of my (wheel) chair and into the pool. 'She said 'you are not going to be sitting around because of your disability'. You are going to be active,'' Bishop recalled. 'I learned to do that (swim) before I learned to walk again.'' First stop in the rebirth of his sporting journey was the Somerville House school pool, not far from the hospital where he was staying. 'I don't remember swimming being too difficult. Obviously the kick was not as strong, but I could float and I made it to the other end, so I was happy.'' Joining Bishop in the water was his mum, Clare. 'As soon as his wounds were healed, I took him in a wheelchair up to Somerville House pool and tipped him in and it was the first time he had probably smiled since the accident,'' Clare said. Lewis Bishop and his parents, at the Red Carpet arrival of Paris Olympians and Paralympians for 2024 Swimming Australia Awards - Photo Steve Pohlner 'We knew the only way forward was to keep him active the best way we could,'' said his mother Clare. 'It was hard. You want to wrap him up in cotton wool, but we also knew the only way forward was to be mentally engaged. And being a sporting boy, we needed to follow his natural inclination (of being involved in sport). 'He loved the water as a baby. I think he swam before he walked,'' Clare recalled. 'He loves a challenge and he took it.'' Paralympian Lewis Bishop arrives home from Paris in 2024 to friends and family. Pics Adam Head Bishop's love of the water came from his time in coastal Gove, the Northern Territory, when his father was working in the mines. 'It was amazing fishing,'' Bishop recalled. From there the family moved to PNG where Bishop's love affair with the water continued. So when he was looking to resume a sporting life following his accident, it was only natural that this water baby hit the pool. Bishop, who attended St Bernard's Primary School and then Clairvaux MacKillop College, trains under Josh Smith at Rackley Swimming Hibiscus. Last week his progression continued when he made the world championship squad headed to Singapore in September. Lewis Bishop, left, is part of the QAS program along with fellow athletes Abby Carswell and Seth Macdonald. Bishop is a part of the Paralympics Australia's Imagine Education Program which educates students about the Paralympic movement, the Games and Para sports. Paralympians like Bishop from the Queensland Academy of Sport visit primary schools to help break down stigma around disability. Currently, only 25 percent of people with a disability participate in sport and Bishop would like to help that to change. The tension mounts for Lewis Bishop in Paris. (Photo by) Having once looked up to Olympians and paralympians, Bishop is now one of those young men educating the youth of today about disability in sport. 'I hope to inspire the future generation,'' Bishop said. 'When I was in primary school (at St Bernard's School) and a Paralympian had visited, that would have been pretty special. And now I do that. It is an honour to be able to give back.'' For Bishop, he is only in the middle of his sporting dream. It all started in that Somerville House pool when he entered the water from a wheelchair 10 years ago, it continued in Paris at the Games, and it could end in Brisbane at the 2023 Olympic and Paralympic Games. 'I feel like I am just getting started. Brisbane (2032) is coming up on the horizon so I want to stay around for that.'' Bishop dares to dream because he knows dreams do come true. After all, he is alive, isn't he, he can walk and he can swim - very, very well.
