biff 2,158 Report post Posted March 25, 2016 The bloke on the other site spruiking 'it's on a roll' has done a runner, how did he front trackwork each day over there in Otaki running a mantra like that? Mental illness has no shame and takes no prisoners, anyone who believes racing is in a healthy state here, is not in a healthy state. kakama and We're Doomed 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if the stake was $50,000 it would have got the same field. So it isn't all about stakes, but I certainly know what you mean.
