All the horses working on the turf ahead of next Friday's final Turf Series meeting.... DANGER ALERT in company with KIWANO.... GET IT doing a solo piece.... SIR WINSTON and GRAIGNES.... LUCANDER and ...

Does not let you bounce around on Cloud Nine for long.... Sport has a habit of biting back. Just when all is rosy and wonderful, she will bare her teeth... A couple of disappointing runners yesterday ...
