Unfortunately he moved too quick for them to grab a photo, but it’s checked, correct and confirmed. The Butcher is there! Of […]
Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted don’t train the winner of the Magic Millions Guineas Fashion Legend. Richard and Will Freedman do. And replaced Tony and Maddie Sears with O’Dea and Hoysted as the trainers of the runner-up too! Fashion Legend becomes the first 8YO) in history to win a 3YO Guineas. According to Sky Channel […]
