Dough aside. He really is quite an exciting horse. I followed him through his trial period and he struck a cord with me. I hope he continues with it and makes it to Cup class. 1 1 Quote

I know it sounds strange, but years ago I did the same with another little horse called Borana. And yes I had a wager on him in the Cup. I just knew that when he started to show some semblance of form he held it for a few races and then tapered off. You had to know the time to punt him. Been a lot of water under the bridge since then. 2 Quote

Hence, my user name on here. I liked Dainty Smooth back in the day. No one would remember her back in the day being off the track in a 2600m against the boys when they ran something like 3.16 which was eye opening back for the grade. I looked her up on HRNZ but unfortunately she never left anything good. 1 Quote
