MalcolmH 40 Report post Posted September 20, 2017 The other day I saw race at an Aust meeting called Yoshiko and for some reason remember my Grandmother backing a horse of the same name here many many years ago.Other horses I remember her having a lot of luck with were Apa and Tatua. Any one know anything about these horses at all? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
