Stables 577 Report post Posted October 9, 2018 I suggest that anyone with an interest in this subject should read Mark Purdon's comments on his website. He expresses his sympathy for those caught up in this sorry business and argues strongly that the RIU reconsider the imposed restrictions for everyone involved. As he states this is going to be a long drawn out affair and in the meantime people should not be restricted from making a living LongOwner 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to back the field in the maiden trot at Hutt Park every meeting in the 80s Very profitable strategy those days and probably in that race at Methven Sunday. It's got rough written all over it especially now the heavens have opened. Kotare_Hunter 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
