Buying more land is what they should have been doing so they can build a decent facility and cater for even more horses from nearby tracks like Waipa and Te Rapa.
Anybody able to tell me anything about Tologa Bay apart from the obvious.
Nearing an age where u think about ,whats next and the East Coast has been mentioned as a possible area of interest.

Ron Brierley apparently arrested in Aussie for possession of images of child abuse.
Started his career as a publisher of a weekly racing tipsheet.
No wonder he has been exiting a few companies lately.Will need plenty to defend these alleged charges.
