This Race on the Randwick Kenso Yesterday Was as Hot As I Have Ever Seen
Race six on the Randwick Kenso yesterday was the hottest gallops race I have seen for a long time. A mare named Hasty Honey ridden by Kerrin McEvoy was backed from $9.00 into $3.00. It jumped straight to the front. Every other jockey in the race put the handbrake on. J-Mac on the 5/4 favorite […]
