Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Did the 3 horse really over-race and contact the wheel of the 4 horse, causing it to gallop? Or did Maurice McKendry the driver of the 4 cut across the 3 when there wasn’t sufficient room because he was looking over his left shoulder to the outside instead of looking in to ensure there was […]
The replay below is of the start of race 3 at Albion Park last night, the Group 3 $50 000 2YO Breeders Classic for fillies. If you call it a start.
