I am with you Archie, let us not forget!! The article Bruce Clark wrote, clearly about his ‘good’ mate – ‘Weir had an addiction to winning races’ : Waller – this has alarm bells ringing for me. Weir has no right to be given a license back, he was King Of The Castle and he […]
What has happened to famed Mareeba gallops trainer Roy Chillemi?
