Racing world rocked by sudden death of ‘legendary' trainer
The racing community is mourning the sudden death of Group 1-winning trainer Robbie Laing, just hours after he celebrated a second-place finish at Flemington. Tributes poured in on Sunday after it emerged Laing had died in his sleep overnight. The veteran, aged in his 60s, had fought back from bankruptcy and a ban to return to top competition in recent years. Laing's El Soleado, ridden by apprentice Sheridan Clarke and carrying 64.5kg, finished second in the last race at Flemington on Saturday. The horse was a winner at Bendigo in April last year — a spirit-boosting win for Laing, who watched from hospital with a leg injury — and has recently bounced back from throat surgery. Laing famously trained Roman Arch, ridden by Craig Newitt, to an upset win in the 2006 Australian Cup at Flemington. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

'My life in racing's been fantastic, really,' Laing said in a Channel 7 feature in early 2024. 'It's had its highs and lows, but if you're not prepared to suffer the lows, you're in the wrong caper. 'I don't like failure. Generally whatever I set myself to do, I've done it. 'As a kid I wanted to win the league's best and fairest and I did that. I wanted to be captain of the footy team and I did that. 'I became apprentice in 1974 at the age of 15. I think I rode OK but I got heavy very quick. At the age of 23 I trained my first Group 1 winner Perfect Bliss. 'The Group 1s for me are extra special.' Away from the racetrack, his daughter Grace finished third on The Voice Kids in 2014 while his children were enrolled at Haileybury College in Melbourne. But it all went downhill in 2017 with some of his stable stalwarts leaving his yard, including the loss of fan favourite So Si Bon after he was banned from racing for grabbing The Taj Mahal by the leg in a race. 'The owners decided to give him to someone else, meaning he left the stable. Miss Rock was close to retirement, and she'd won $1.3 million,' Laing recalled. 'Lord Of The Sky won The Standish in early 2018, but he was coming up to an eight-year-old, so the team looked like it was going to be fairly light on. 'The girls were still going to Haileybury. We had a farm to pay off, and there was just so much. 'The stables on course were costing $4000 a week, the rental on our property was $1500 a week and then feed and staff and next thing, we ran out of money. So, the wife and the three kids, they took off. 'I had all the motor vehicles repossessed, lost the farm, smashed my hip in, had to have a brand new hip operation and was declared bankrupt. November 30th, 2019, I had to hand my licence in due to bankruptcy.' If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your . To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Guide. Laing's appeal to regain his licence, scheduled for early 2020, was delayed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, he was forced to stay on the sidelines during that time. 'Luckily, my parents are still fit and healthy. I've got a little bedroom at their place. Rick Smith from PFD Foods gifted me a Holden ute, and that's all I've got at the moment,' he said 'I think it was going to be horses or the dole.' On Sunday, former jockey turned trainer Gavin Bedggood remembered Laing as 'far from conventional but a man who was very good to me'. 'Gave me my first horse as a trainer, many winners as a rider and plenty of advice over the years. Was never given the credit he deserved as a trainer — always had a good two-year-old, handicapper and jumper. Rest easy,' he wrote. Samuel Hyland said: 'Very sorry to hear of the passing of Robbie Laing, always loved riding for Laing. His horses were always tough and fit, he was a great character, an outstanding horseman as well as trainer, thoughts are with Eddie and Sylvia Laing and the Laing Family.' Bryan Martin said: 'The saddest news with the passing overnight of Robbie Laing. Outstanding horseman and always good fun to be around. Amazing mind on pedigrees. Rob could train, young ones, top liners and the jumpers. Very sadly missed Robbie Laing. Prayers with his extended family.' Journalist Bruce Clark wrote: 'Thoughts to the extensive family and many friends of legendary horseman Robbie Laing on hearing his sudden passing.'

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In a dramatic two-part TV special, NBC's The Voice narrowed its Season 27 field from 12 contestants to just five finalists. Tuesday's special event was divided into two episodes: Episode 19 recapped the standout performances from the previous night's semifinals, while Episode 20 focused on live eliminations and the reveal of the Season 27 final five. Four artists advanced through America's vote, four were eliminated and the remaining four battled live for the coveted fifth spot via the "Instant Save."

Jens Kalaene/picture-alliance/dpa/AP Images What Happened on 'The Voice' Last Night? Monday's episode marked a pivotal shake-up: The show's "Super Save" brought back four previously eliminated artists to perform in the semifinals. Tuesday night began with a performance from judge John Legend and followed with a retrospective look at the semifinal performances. "It's going to be a tough night tonight watching us go from 12 to five," host Carson Daly said during the broadcast before announcing the safe four contestants. After a performance from country star Kelsea Ballerini, Daly named the four contestants that would battle it out for the final spot in the top five. With the final now just a week away, the top five set the stage for a wide-open championship. Which Contestants Cracked the Top 5? The first finalist revealed was Renzo, 34, from Philadelphia, representing Team Legend. Previously seen on American Idol as Dennis Lorenzo, Renzo closed Episode 19 with a high-octane version of Aerosmith's "Dream On." Next through was Lucia Flores-Wiseman, of Washington, from Team Adam. The third finalist was Team Bublé's Jadyn Cree, who impressed some viewers with a performance of "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tommy James & The Shondells. Jaelen Johnston, the 22-year-old member of Team Kelsea, was the fourth name announced. Johnston's country twang made him a fan favorite throughout the season. The final spot came down to an Instant Save, with four singers—Adam David (Team Bublé), Olivia Kuper-Harris (Team Legend), Iris Herrera (Team Kelsea) and Bryson Battle (Team Legend)—competing live. Ultimately, David clinched the fifth finalist position. Who Was Eliminated From 'The Voice' on Tuesday? Kaiya Hamilton, Alanna Lynise, Kolby Cordell and Conor James did not advance to the finale, or perform for the final spot. Despite their performances in Episode 20, Kuper-Harris, Herrera and Battle did not advance. When Is 'The Voice' Finale? The Season 27 finale of The Voice will air live May 19 on NBC, with the top five artists performing one final time. Episodes are available for streaming on Peacock the next day. Voting will begin and the winner of The Voice will be crowned in a live results show on May 20. Fans can vote via The Voice app or during the finale.
