Racing has changed in leaps and bounds over the years. In the last 25-years, there has been more innovation than the last two hundred. But that is all in the history books… I was looking over my bar of racing memorabilia, and many sweet memories came flooding back. I know we’re not suppose to live […]

The illusive beast that has hidden for 35-years will be able to rest quietly, as punters from around the globe will start focusing on summer racing. But why wait? Winning Ponies […]
