Then there are the people who create the situations whereby (in this case) the races are held. Watching 10 to 15 horses going pound for pound around a racetrack is a beautiful thing. Imagine what it must be like though being able to either live on a farm where the horses are bred and trained or having a role whereby you interacted at the racetrack with breeders and trainers alike.
Well @MatthewCorban has done all that. Having lived in the very heart of the mighty Waikato in a beautiful town called Cambridge and now studying at Victoria he is a gentleman of great intellect. And I must add a (very) young gentleman.
I like that in his twitter bio he lays down in front of you exactly what you're going to get as far as tweets go. Especially this disclaimer - "Pretends to be an Academic. Occasional smartarse." And there are a few other things you might want to know about him as well. Such as -
He knows how to fend for himself -> "Pizza today, pizza yesterday and pizza the day before. Why? Because I'm a 22yo man."
He is irreverent -> "Wellington has been exciting. Huge storms and quakes within a month. Not quite the "dead city". Next the return of the anti-christ #
He is a man of fine taste -> "Can't believe Vuwsa and the Women's group got Miss Victoria University cancelled. Absolute madness."
From what I can tell according to Matthews tweets - he is a really great guy. He has a very funny sense of humour, a passion for all things horse racing and a fine career in front of him. As a tweeter he shares the good stuff especially around his favorite topics - food, friends, beer and racing.
So whats not to like? His tweets are not your average commentating on the news or whatever happens to be on tele at the time. Rather they are an insight into the mind and life of a young man who has racing in his blood.
