You’d want a share in this one wouldn’t you? It’s trained by the famous singer John Mayer’s brother. And marketed by a bunch of clowns. This filly was sold at the Inglis Premier Sale – which is misnamed, because it’s really the B-Grade auction – 9 momths ago for $125 000, which I reckon is […]

Mr Christian’s correspondence was […]

How do two guys in their late 20’s/early 30’s start off their careers as owners of harness racing horses with just 2 horses, and just 27 months later end up owning 216, many of them purchased from New Zealand? How do the same pair of blokes who started out with a postage stamp 2 years […]
