You might know already but im hearing reports that it's raining over the track.

[Floydyboy]

My son just rang up and hes bought razkalla in a Calcutta so Iva had a bet on it as well (my theory being if the Godolfins were going to try and win a race in australia why wouldnt you use an australian jockey)a bloody smokey I reckon hahahahaha totaloutlay$27

[Floydyboy]

OR use him as a pacemaker ...haha who cares

[Floydyboy]
