Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Aaron Bain and Summit Bloodstock own quite a few horses trained by Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonkin, all of whom we are told will be leaving the stables and going elsewhere. There are a few good ones amongst them, but one is an absolute standout. Loucasso, the winner of 7 from 9 in his first […]
