Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The second race at Menangle on Saturday night just didn’t look right. In fact it looked like a Jack and Jill engineered fix. Jack is Trainor. He had two in the race, Braeview Kelly and his recent acquisition from across the ditch Manhattan. Trainor drove Braeview Kelly, and put his stable employee Jack Brown on […]

How on earth did this winner of the first race at Young yesterday withstand the protest lodged by the connections of the 2nd placed horse and win the race? It makes no sense at all. The winner didn’t just clip a marker peg, it went all the way inside them and remained there for at […]
