Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
News just in. The sexual harassment case against the yearling sales company boss that we told you about the other day is not the only one. There is another too. We have seen and heard some of the evidence. It’s ugly. This bloke should be sacked on the spot. Apparently he’d got form from a […]
The grey horse is One More Bout. It was gone by the 200m mark, and finished well out of the placings. Sadly for the hopes of those who backed the only silver colored horse in the race, the hapless Sky channel race caller declared it the winner. That is what we used to call back […]
