Peter Champ Blows Off Boards – Beaten
Hi Geoff
Wed 31 July is the last day.

Frankie Zackey... Why should there be excuses ? We are over the MOON with the run...Maybe you should pay more attention when trainers are being interviewed about their runners especially when it's concerning the Peter runners, they are always willing to help the punters

When is the official end of the season?

Frankie, we now call you The Punters Man.
The bookies are going to offer you a whale of an amount to keep your mouth closed
You told the punters in a round about way to keep money in bank Main Defender is not ready to win
It is battling to fry the fry.
Thank you again Frankie.

I have no problem with the owners/trainer switching jockeys as it is their prerogative.But to hang an honest jockey like Calvin out to dry in public is a disgrace! Is Frankie Zackey now the official spokesman for the Peters'
