CamHart too good a driver and Grimson does it again.

Frankie Ferocious was a nice horse in Queensland winning 10 of 20 starts for the Crosby's.

Up to Miracle Mile Level now with the Grimson machine pushing him harder.

A Great Chariot's of Fire win over the New Zealander 'Sooner the Better' . a game 2nd. 

A 1.49.4 mile so is that quick enough against the Big Guns next week ?
