Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
No matter how long you have been involved in racing, there are still things you learn every day. The case of the two late scratchings in the first race at the Sunshine Coast yesterday is one of them.

If I were you I wouldn’t believe a word about what Clive Palmer says about his involvement with the Trump camp in the 2019 Federal Election, at least not beyond the semantics of Palmer’s claims spoken in accordance with his mega high-priced legal advice.
