I am going to tell you a true story i can't remeber all the facts or the races but i do remeber the horses name and the trainer....It was about 10 years ago i was at the local tab and was watching a race in sydney i think it was an open or something like that a hores by the name of hayles belle (not sure of the spelling) was leading this race by a good margin the race as i remeber had some good horses of the day in it now she did tire and run about 4 i think but i remeber saying given the right race she would win...well i followed this horse for ages....i think she did win a few but i know she did run a few places at the provintual...but the one thing i remember was i seen the horse set to race on a new years day...but because of the nights events i didn't wake till after 2pm new years day...so i rang phone tab to check out the results...well talk about a sick feeling...she won paying $125 $25 for the place...i had not a cracker on her...i don't remember seeing her race again....i would love to know a site that i could search her results....well to end the story i attended the raceing expo in sydney i think it was the first time they had it..maybe the last aswell....there was a trainer there answering questions for the people on horse raceing and such...well i possed the question to him...what ever happend to hayles belle....the look on his face says it all he made an excuse about being late for something and left.....i must say this whole saga was not a total waste i had been telling one of the tab operators about this horse for months before christmas well a few days after new years when i went into the tab...she comes out and pulls me a side hands me $500 and a kiss....and says thanks...don't know how much she won didn't ask.....but i know she had a two week holiday overseas...true story
