Jill Boots One Home
Watch this. It’s Jason ‘Jill’ Grimson on the eventual winner. He’s the one I have circled above. Keep your eye on his right foot. See it? If you didn’t then watch it again. Grimson has hitched his sulky tight, and it twisting his foot so that it comes into contact with his horse, using its […]

Big Richie Has Gone Mad
Paulele made it seven wins from 18 starts when he added the Group 2 Schillaci Stakes to his form sheet on Saturday and he deserves a Group 1 win. I can see him getting that coveted victory on Friday week in the Manikato Stakes. He only beat second-tier horses in the Schillaci, but what is […]
