Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Gee D. Moor is a brilliant rider. Watch his steer on The Black Cloud here. It’s the horse in the green and black. A lesser jockey would have gone for the run in the middle and been squeezed and checked. Not Moor. He was going to take the middle run, but being possessed of that […]
Ever wonder why so many top jockeys move to Hong Kong the moment they get the offer of a contract? The answer is simple. Money, money, money. You can earn bucketloads of it in Honkers, and you pay a maximum of only 17% tax on it, usually about 10% on average. Compare that to Australia […]

Nothing to see there. Horse ridden to take up lead. Allen looks down towards wither/pommel like the pad may have slipped back/shifted on jumping.
