Perhaps time for a misnationalising thread.

Not sure why they put it on a bloody Tuesday.

Anyway, holiday is booked.

OK thanks.

The Stawell Gift is Australia's most prestigious Handicap Sprint race over 120 Metres by the way. The Women's heats have just started, Men's to follow. The Semis and Finals are on Monday.

And Gout Gout is the Australian 200m record holder, not Merv King's latest ailment.

He won his heat easily off 1 metre. He's not the backmarker though as Lachlan Kennedy is off 0.25.

Will be a great race if they can both make the Final.

Remember Kennedy faintly, he won silver in the World Indoors 60m this year
