CLEARLY there's still bad blood between larrikin owner John Singleton and bookie Tom Waterhouse.
The pair were involved in the very public spat earlier this year during the More Joyous inquiry.
The inquiry received so many headlines, so we don't feel the need to re-tell the story.
But while Singleton tries to win the Melbourne Cup today with his tough mare Dear Demi, Waterhouse gave us the impression he was hardly in the mood to mend any bridges.
``I try not to think about `Singo','' Waterhouse told At The Track on tour.
``What he did and all the trouble he caused, bringing racing into disrepute with his bizarre claims, it was dreadful from our (family's) perspective and racing's perspective. That's why he was found guilty and fined. I try not to think about him.
``I never spoke to him beforehand. And I can't imagine I'll be speaking with him (now).''

Waller might be the fortune 'teller
CHRIS Waller and Jimmy Cassidy have proven a lethal trainer-jockey combination in recent months, and will team up today with Hawkspur in the Melbourne Cup.
But Waller maintains it's his stablemate Foreteller - not Hawkspur - who he's leaning towards in the Cup.
``Foreteller is a genuine weight-for-age horse, he's won two Group 1 races, and he drops back to a handicap with a very good weight,'' Waller said.
``For that reason I'd put him slightly ahead of Hawkspur.''
Meanwhile, if punters are itching for a bet before 3pm, try dumping a bit of cash on Waller's Arinosa, the ghostly grey who runs in the Group 3 Lavazza Short Black (1400m) at 12.30pm.
``We were tossing up between running her here or in the (Group 1) Patinack, so if we thought she could win the Patinack, she's going to blow that field away tomorrow,'' Waller said. ``She's well weighted, and the 1400m is the right distance for her.''
That's right, 12.30pm.
Everything is Crystal clear
THE Crystal Club at Crown Casino was definitely the place to be yesterday afternoon. We spotted French jockey Gerald Mosse, the rider of Cup hope Red Cadeaux, having a bite, then the lovely Jennifer Hawkins on her way to a workout, dressed in a pink singlet and black pants. Trainer Chris Waller was seen in another corner locked in deep conversation with one of the managing owners of Foreteller, Neil Werrett, of Black Caviar fame.

Corey leader in the ink stakes
BROWN Panther's hoop Richard Kingscote loves his tattoos, but we reckon he's got nothing on our very own Corey Brown.
Brown, who partners Super Cool later today, has ink that runs all the way down one arm, and is about to add to his impressive collection.
``I do have a Melbourne Cup under my (left) arm of the actual Cup, and I was meant to go back and get `Shocking' written on it, but I haven't,'' said Brown, in reference to his 2009 Cup triumph.
``I'd get something again if I win tomorrow. I'm actually about to start another tatt that will start on the lower chest and go down to my hip.''
There is no shortage of what a tattooist could so with the words `Super Cool'.
Why Melbourne isn't cool #6
Guys who spell their name `Bradd'. That was the name of the bloke who was called on to stage at yesterday's Call of the Card, and took an eternity to declare his Cup winner.
