We are told that one time harness racing identity and bon vivant Marshall Dobson is these days living in Manila, or somewhere nearby. I wonder if MD is into Asian men or women? Based on past form it could be a bit each way. Somewhat like the bloke himself. Bon Scott was too. What Australian […]

They say a picture tells a thousand words. What does this one say? Here at the facts that it presents. NSW has 29 […]
