The great Keith McDeed exploded back into the winners list at Newcastle yesterday, breaking a more than a 2-year drought by winning the prestigious TAB Venue Mode HRNSW Guaranteed 2yo Maiden Pace, a race that in the past has been won by legends of the crushed of the compacted granite dust circuit such as Whatshisname, […]
A couple of weeks back we wrote about the amazing later career renaissance of trainer David Waite after he took over the reins from the disqualified Leon Jurd as the trainer for former Club Menangle and HRNSW boss Rex Horne, the real estate with the stand named after him.

Hall of Fame trainers Gai Waterhouse and Chris Waller have openly rebuked Australian Turf Club proposals to sell Rosehill Gardens racecourse during a sometimes-heated club members meeting on Tuesday night.
