A couple of weeks ago we told you story of Mondello Beach, a winner at the Newcastle trots that wasn’t eligibe to run in the race because it hadn’t competed in the mandatory trial required in NSW for horses who hadn’t a start for more than days. It appears that the connections of the runner-up […]

Frankie Ferocious wasn’t the only Jason Grimson trained horse that failed miserably at Albion Park last night.
