Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The happiest man in racing Merv Butterworth has had a bugger of a past couple 0f weeks. First his star galloper Sharp ‘N’ Smart’s Melbourne Cup campaign got ended before it really began by a bunch of little bloody bugs in his throat. Then a seagull pooed on his shoulder while he has walking d0wn […]
A prominent Melbourne bookmaker has declared Romantic Warrior to be the lay of the spring in the Cox Plate, and says that he going to take it on in the Turnbull too. The bookie – who has asked not to be named – is of the view that while former English galloper Redkirk Warrior may […]
More than a million dollars has been spent on upgrading the Charleville racetrack in recent years, all of it seemingly to little avail based on the condition of the track at Sunday’s 1st meeting back at the course after an absence of racing for 2 years.
