A couple of days ago we tipped you to get on the crock Sicario when it hit the track in Jumping Jason Grimson’s colours. I hope you were quick, because the money has come early and the money has come hard. We’re still 18 hours from start time in the Group 2 Bendigo Cup, and […]

Now I have crack at Gaita on a regular basis, so my Pullino slagging form is pretty good. But this time I am sticking up for in defense to Keith’s claims. It’s a two horse race, with Gaita’s at $1.65 and Alan Cronin’s one driven by Corey Johnson at $2.15 and double figures the rest. […]
