Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Lost Storm and Catch a Wave were the 2 biggest names on the card at Melton last night, the former in a heat of the Vic Derby, the latter in the prestigious Group 3 Smoken Up. Jason Bonnington tipped them b0th as good things, and he wasn’t alone, with many tipping them as across […]
