2022 Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip is currently favorite ahead of the Kiwi mare Campionessa to win Saturday’s Peter Young Stakes run over 1800m at Caulfield. I give him none.

Greyhound Racing Victoria have just released a set of proposed new national rules about screening limits for therapeutic substances, but if anyone out there can understand it without the assistance of a translator, then they are a whole lot smarter than me. The prosed new rules appear to set a limit under which the drugs […]
I’m just guessing about the man with the phone, NZ’s leading bloodstock agent Peter Lagan, bidding for Leeton, Australia businessman Michael Boots, but with leading buyers of yore Emilio Rosati and Dr Jim Giumelli absent from the sales this year, then by a process of logical deduction who else could it have been?
