Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
VICTORIAN horse racing’s new corruption watchdog has vehemently denied having accepted cash from a convicted drug dealer to do private detective work, saying the allegations are part of a malicious campaign to destroy his reputation and force him out of the industry. Former detective Dayle Brown, chosen last week to head Racing Victoria’s integrity services […]
Well, well, well. Look at this. Peter Lamb is the name you are looking at, the starter at Melton. Lamb is the man who got sacked in New Zealand for hooking the start of last year’s NZ Trotting Cup, the one in which his mate Mark Purdon’s horse Self Assured got a flying start from […]
