Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Well the mystery of how trainer Luke O’Neill was allowed to attend Globe Derby on Saturday night is solved. O’Neill can attend the trots because Harness Racing SA Stewards have put no ongoing sanctions in place that prevent him from doing so.
