Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A mate of mine owns the horse at the back in the famous Graeme Rogerson colours of blue and green with the red cap. He backed it at $26 to win a new house. I only backed it win a car. Is it any wonder that we both feel sick? Why is that $6.80 each […]

Northview Hustler is an 8-year-old Open Class pacer who coming into Friday’s return to Albion Park after the floods meeting had won ten races in Australia. Eight have them had been when he had led, and the other two had come when he sat behind the leader and used the sprint lane. He had never, […]
I found this story on a really interesting website called Weekend Kings. They wrote it not me. I highly recommend taking a look at it, for there are some great stories there about racing.
