Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Friday night is Alexandra Park’s big night, the main metropolitan meeting of the week; the showcase if you will. That’s what makes this so bad. There are just six races on tonight’s card.

Wanderson D’Avila is a jockey. He is also a grub. D’Avila mistreated his wonderful wife, the horse trainer Sharlee, and being the strong women she is, she gave him the punt.
