Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A fairytale finish at @BrisRacingClub! The Greg Kilner-trained Swanston salutes with @teganharrison17 on board. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/3JU8D1tiJi — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) July 23, 2022 Have another look at the replay of the run down the home stretch in the last at Doomben yesterday.
