Nick Walsh Gets the Chocolates Again – Hong Kong Surely Awaits
Superstar Central QLD trainer Nick Walsh maintained his 1 out of every 2 winning strike at Mackay yesterday. As usual stable punters landed a mini plunge too. Has there ever been a trainer anywhere in Australia who has kept these winning percentages up for so long? We are more than 3/4 of the way through […]
