A filly who recently arrived from England, Sharnberry wired the field today at Gulfstream over a mile. She had the benefit of Ramon Dominguez riding her again as he did on her first run over here (she had a slow start which they so often do first time), so he knew her and felt comfortable […]

Toby’s back too!

He is called Daddy Nose Best and he literally beat Lucky Chappy by a flared nostril in the El Camino Real Derby (Grade III) at Golden Gate yesterday. Chappy had to work hardest of […]
