It’s break down in the maiden yesterday at Richmond in Far North Western QLD was catastrophic. It brought tears to your eyes. How the mare […]
Prominent Queensland harness racing owner Josh Davine of N40 fame proved himself a man for all seasons by landing a winner at Albion Park last night as a trainer with his first ever Australian runner. Davine, a resident of NSW, made the transition from owner to trainer in New Zealand earlier this year with his […]
