"Talking of Lee Freedman, he was interviewed on radio today down south about Queen Of The Hill. Only problem was the interviewer didn’t bother asking “why has she got bar plates on Lee?” - which would have given that answer to a million interested punters around Australia. After all who is the last horse to win a Group 1 race - wearing bar plates all round – I doubt there has ever been one. I cannot find one solitary horse that won a Saturday metropolitan race in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne from 1/1/05 to 31/12/05 as yet that was wearing bar plates all round. If anyone knows one please send it in. For the record a lot of emails came in saying Freedman’s horse Matras won in bar plates in the Melbourne Spring Carnival – but she didn’t. I checked up and she raced in “concussion plates” when she won."

Well, he certainly got that one right!

"BABINDA HALF Won’t run 1200."

And he certainly got that one wrong!
