where's the one with @Chief Stipe in his matching onesie?

Even the best couldn't master the wingatui track, interesting ride on purple prose hunted her out from wide draw to get handy, but cost her in the finish, I always maintain wide draw at wingatui a struggle,  a friend had a interest in perlino, I said to him she'll have to go back from there, riding handy at there peril, 3 wide from the 800, went a good race, but gut buster, Cleo lane win was super impressive, she done it, not many can.

What negativity? I've bought shares in 3 horses in the last month or so and Freda's training one of them. Maybe you have me mixed up with one of your other mates.

Oh and started a small business supporting the industry in the SI. What positives have you contributed this year?

You've got @Murray Fish sharing years of experience and skill as a racing photographer on this site and all you can do is come up with a negative comment like that?

Great horse picks Murray, keep up the good work, this fella may have been a late scratching, A mate bought a pair of meatloaf undies, on the front it said, I'll do anything for love, and on the back, said, but I wont do that.

Have to say that's a cracker pic of OP. Don't get that sort of racing photography much anymore.

Of course he can!  It's Digital now so he has low overheads.  But probably lots more "expenses"....!

I think you both would have done better if you'd rocked up in the tangerine onesie.
