Old school trainers would have been delighted with that run another run some 5lenghts off and then the money can be put down
Any idea why the handicapper doesn't drop hi. To 99
PE would be Tara Langs first July winner PE maybe not such a bad option it's a great base to raid

Back to the 'old' age bone of contention.
Mike Tyson, at age 58, still managing to draw a live crowd of 70 000 and a 120 million viewers, fighting an opponent 31 years younger than him on Friday night.

Mr Ed
What I saw was the big picture H is being aimed at the July with a possible 52kg he will merely be ticking over without incurring penalties I'm surprised you didn't see that and that you are still up way past Cecil's bed time
Franky on the other hand is just warming up for a night out on the town
Please no more H in the headlines till July
