Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Declaration of correct weight was delayed to allow Stewards and connections of THE LOUVRE (1st place) & PUREZZA (2nd place) to view the official photo finish.

This video was sent to us by a Lightning Bet customer. It is a recording of him trying to have $5 bets on a race at Grafton. He does it one by one and works his way through the field. On every bet bar one they wind the price in on him. The one that […]
