....the name escapes me but remember the breeding out of a mare called Sita .....the trainer was a Mrs Turner and she trained from a private facility near Margo's Drag Strip.... indecently the same place my dad trained from some years earlier.....the stable jock was Shannon Devoy....the story is grander than this....it involved suspected insurance fraud as the horse was said to never race again....yet we got it back to race and win......:blink:
