Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I always thought that I was pretty au fait with the rules of racing, but this one has me baffled. Apprentice Montana Philpott replaced now senior rider Dan McGillivray as the rider of Star Chance in the last race at Ipswich yesterday. Now it was weird that McGillivray was able to accept the ride in […]

Apologies to Mr Reynolds for suggesting otherwise. It was a stablehand named Natalie James. We don’t know why she did such a thing, but James […]
