Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can dream of the old days Life was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Stewards in Spotlight – Tamworth May 26 May 31, 2011 There seems a tsunami building in industry angst towards a most incredible decision made by […]
Now there is a name familiar to Queensland racing people. Neil Boyle, aka Boyley. A one-time drinking mate of Scott Steele’s he was, I think. It was only a couple of days ago that I was talking to someone from interstate and they expressed amazement at how all these Stewards from all over the place […]
You’d have to kidding wouldn’t you? Tegan Harrison is riding Goddess Of Peace, the one in the Grant Dixon trot colours, the white and real dark brown checks. The Stewards claim that the horse took charge of Harrison, and shifted out approaching the 600m mark and bumped heavily with the fast blowing favourite Tow The […]
