Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
You could tell very early on in the Victoria Cup tonight that Leap To Fame wasn’t quite right and might struggle to win. It became apparent when shortly after the start Grant Dixon pushed off the fence and came around three-wide looking for the death. Luke McCarthy on Kingman half-kicked up but he was only […]

I can have Louprint? I’ll take him with bells on! Larry sit parked outside Louprint and crush him? Turn it up, Larry would barely see which way he went off the gate, never mind catch up to him to sit parked and crush him. Larry lacks gatespeed, Louprint doesn’t, he didn’t use it in that […]
