Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Watch the horse in pink and blue 4 from the outside. At the same time watch the one in the dark colours drawn three inside it. See what happens. Tell me if you think the one in the pink fell of it’s own accord. It didn’t, did it? The one in the dark colours came […]
This Oakbank stoush over jumps racing is a beauty. Let me explain it for you in simple terms.

Brisbane trainer Lindsay Gough doesn’t like it when on the rare occasion we write about him, so we won’t. A picture tells a thousand words. Here is one from the Caloundra races yesterday.
