If you had been silly enough to take the $1.35 about Aquaholic in the 2-year-old Maiden at Ipswich yesterday you would have started feeling nauseous at the 1000 metre mark when he started pulling his head off, and become more and more ill with every metre further the race went. Aquaholic pulled it self into […]
Grant Dixon this week told Adam Hamilton that he is going to ride the rail on Leap To Fame from the inside of the 2nd-row draw on Saturday night and drive for luck, hoping that a gap opens up after the start that allows him to slip off the fence into the line. Dixon claims […]

Central north-west NSW trainer Dwayne Brown has been training for a long time, and until recently hasn’t had a whole lot of success, winning only around $125 000 in prizemoney in the 22 years from 2ooo to 2022.
