Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Brian Kruger is talking tough about hauling Peter V’Landys into line. Brian has something up his sleeve. Brian thinks its a winner. That’s because Brian has misread the play completely, and is about to get smashed from the blind. Allow me to explain the go. Melbourne has 30 Group 1 races to Sydney’s 29. PVL […]
There is another part of the clause in the Constitution about what happens with meetings that are inquorate because Peter V’Landys fails to turn up.
