I've tried to edit it but it just keeps coming up as chief stipe gale. maybe the chief has programmed it that way,for chief stipe to replace the name do ug whenever that names used. whats going on there? Seems rather spooky to me. p.s. it spelt the name do ug with a space in it as it did it again. Edited August 21 by the galah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John mooney an owner but probably known more for specialising in breeding as well. Richard bromley always comes across as being in touch with the grass roots owner/trainers whose views often overlooked. This group of people did produce some very good work though.
