Carrying the grandstand

Well, another grandstanding finish to a group race in Sydney by G. Boss on Saturday August 24 at Warwick Farm.

Makes good TV pictures but I hope any jockey riding my horses doesn’t do the acting on the finishing post.

I have a wall full of my winners with the jockey riding my horse to the line — beautiful photos of horse and jockey in a fluid motion. I don’t want any of my jockeys doing this grandstanding and destroying my photo of my winning horse.

Alas, haven’t had a winner in a while so I suppose it doesn’t really matter.
