Is there something you have forgotten son? My man in the freezing cold centre of nowhere says you might have. And that his mate Sam is missing you badly. On your bike son. Stop at Flight Centre on your there and buy a ticket up to Paradise too. There are are few meetings coming up […]

I have written so often about jockey Ryan Wiggins errant riding lately that I am almost starting to feel like I’m picking on him, but rest assured I’m not. It’s just that Wiggins has been showing so little regard both for the rules and for his fellow competitors in recent weeks that I feel compelled […]
