27, Bottle of Smoke, 73kg. Unpredictable colt in a field of stayers brings a touch of class and danger to the meeting. A quiet winter preparation looks to have been the perfect formula for an exciting spring carnival. Loves the contest, whether with mares or fillies, and has proved to be an excellent stayer.

Let’s barricade the house and read to each other. It goes without saying I do my own housekeeping. May I vac under your bed? Replies to Box no. 284/02

Housekeeper wanted to work for free in exchange for supervision by dominatrix with a very nasty temper.
