🏇Are Australian horses returning from runs overseas a risk first-up? Joliestar resumes on Saturday after her trip to the UK to run at Royal Ascot in June. 🔎 I recently did a study on this topic for @BradJGray to help with his new show, Rough Habits (check it out below). 4.5K views · 17 likes · 3 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

🏇 KA YING RISING is every bit as good as Black Caviar in terms of the performances he’s putting on the track. His return at Sha Tin on Sunday earned an incredible 119 WFA Performance Rating ⏱️⚖️📊, lifting his peak for the third consecutive start after ratings of 113.5 and 114. h
