Editor BOAY

Evergreen sprinter Arlington recently won for trainer Terry Reid (both pictured) at his 150th start. A Dec ’17 son of My Bro Fabio and brood matron Sass, Arlington posted an impressive near five-length victory over 515m at Sandown Park.

RSN race-caller Victoria Shaw had the pleasure of catching up with Reid over the phone, to congratulate him on the extraordinary milestone achievement. When she suggested that Arlington’s victory would have brought him…

The Taranaki farmer happened across one that could prove to be nearly as lucrative as slicing up his Taranaki farm – breeding thoroughbreds. “I have given up milking cows after 50 years of doing that. I have only got 58 acres left as I am one of those mongrels that have cut their farm up and sold…

Although he’s decided it’s time to stop training now that he’s 71, Coulbeck said he won’t be sitting back for a quiet retirement. “I’ve got a bit of land here where I have a few…
