Brittany, Mick, Ryan, Bronte, TOC and Josh, with Dan Milecki calling. The dream team reunites. It’s not the horses who are going to be good at the Hunter Cup. Welcome back Britt. We’ve missed you. You too Mick. Kia Ora!
Hi Peter, To comment on why APG have spotters ferried to all their sales around the country, my theory is because they are part of the team. The secret is to keep it all in house and to understand the sting, not what is apparent but the old perception V’s reality trick. Auctions generally have […]
Race 1 at Doomben today was running 2 1/2 minutes late. As a result Sky Channel bumped coverage of the race from the green channel to the much lesser watched blue. They showed a shit arse dog race at Sale on Sky 1 instead. WTF? The VIC TAB win pool on the Doomben race was […]
