Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
North QLD trainer Belynda Kliese bought a 3yo bay filly named Dark Fae in an online auction. At the time of the sale the filly was trained by Joe Pride, who logic suggests must have been the person in charge of her. Dark Fae was sent north to the buyer by the seller. Or so […]
I live in Paradise, aka Port Douglas, creation of the international criminal Christopher Skase, village of dreams. He was a genius Skase. Crooked from head to toe, but a visionary nevertheless.

The rail is off at Randwick, especially as the track deteriorates. Any fool can see that. Craig Williams didn’t. This clown steered the favorite in the last Inkaruna to the inside.
