Ex-Racing Victoria director Barbara Saunders is selling an estate made partially from World War I artillery shells, and where Jacki Weaver and Derryn Hinch got married.
Five-time Melbourne Cup winning trainer Lee Freedman is poised to return to Australia from his three-year stint in Singapore, with south-east Queensland emerging as the favoured destination to continue his training career.
Racenet understands the Hall Of Fame trainer has been in contact with race clubs on the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast regarding a potential new venture in the Sunshine State.
Negotiations have progressed to the point where Freedman may be on the verge of making a decision on his training future.
It would be a huge coup for Queensland to score a trainer with the profile of Freedman, who won the last of his five Melbourne Cups with glorious triumphs with Makybe Diva in 2004 and 2005.
