Jason Bullard, through his company Empire Racing Stables, was once Minnesota’s leading racehorse owners, and often in the headlines. From 2016 when he burst onto the scene until 2o21 Bullard – a regular big buyer at the sales who was feted by the racing authorities – owned horses won 147 races from 734 starts for […]

Gold Trip will have to rewrite history if he is to carry 58.5kb to win the Caulfield Cup on Saturday, for no horse in the modern metric age has ever lumped that much to victory in the time honoured race. Since the weight scale switched from stone and pounds to kilos in 1972 the highest […]
