  • STEP UP TO A MILE SHOULD SUIT THE DADDY

    ONE COOL DADDY should appreciate the step back up to a mile when lining up in the 6.40 at Kempton this evening. A previous course and distance winner, things didn’t quite pan out for him last time out at the Sunbury track over 7f but the extra distance should suit, drawn four of ten is… Read more »
