No Cup glory for Pakenham trainer Pakenham-trained Incentivise failed in his quest for turf glory - running second, four lengths behind Verry Elleegant - and being beaten as a hot favourite in coveted Lexus Melbourne Cup at Flemington on Tuesday. In the care of Peter Moody, who recently relocated to Pakenham from Caulfield, Incentivise was aiming to become only the 12th horse in the history of Australia’s most famous race to complete the prized Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup double. And he set out to become the first Pakenham-trained horse to win the race since the Ray ‘Derby’ Webster-trained Dark Felt back in 1943. Moody has been a vocal supporter of the PRC’s magnificent facility at Tynong since return-
ing to training after a four-year hiatus… training his first winner, Shepard, from the track in May 2020. He took over the training of Incentivise from Toowoomba-based trainer Steve Tregea in July this year and made a Group-1 clean sweep of his first three starts in Melbourne. Incentivise had impressive victories in the Makybe Diva Stakes and Turnbull Stakes on his way to winning the Caulfield Cup. Other horses to have completed the Caulfield-Melbourne cups double are Poseidon 1906, The Trump 1937, Rivette 1939, Rising Fast 1954, Even Stevens 1962, Galilee 1966, Gurner’s Lane 1982, Let’s Elope 1991, Doriemus 1995, Might And Power 1997 and Ethereal 2001.

Storm hits home Thousands of people across Cardinia woke in the dark on Friday 29 October as strong winds caused severe damage and power outages across the South East. Some homes were without power for days.
Needing to help his community through the horror morning, Emerald’s SES controller Ben Owen was called away from his family home in Cockatoo around 6am. He was on the way to the unit headquarters when he got a call from his wife he’ll never forget.
A huge pine tree had fallen on their house, trapping his wife and two daughters inside. Ben was one of hundreds of people requesting help from SES and CFA units across the area Friday morning. In Berwick, a man was taken to hospital after being hit by a falling tree brance on
Gloucester Avenue and Berwick Lodge Primary School was among those damaged. Pakenham SES media officer Shayne Honey said it was the busiest few days the unit had seen in a few years. STORIES PAGES 2-5
