Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Did you just see that? Jockey Brooke Richardson whipped the winner of the 3rd race at Barcaldine twice on the way back to the mounting yard. What the hell for? In the modern age where we’ve got the Greens about to come into huge power through their support of the Federal Labor Government, and racing […]
This is a video of a jump out conducted somewhere in wretchedly unsafe circumstances, and without any regards for proper standards, jockey safety or animal welfare.
