Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
After God knows how many years of training, and 10 Group 1 winners, all of sudden Rickie Alchin has caught ablaze again. Last night he took two horses to race at Newcastle, and both of them won. That was an easy 10 grand for a 6 hour drive. The cash was good, but the best […]

First the chief Geoff ‘Gus’ Goold and his bad of merry stewarding men adjourned an inquiry into the $1.28 fav in a maiden plate over 2040m ridden by […]
