A legend ruff, and a fearless punter..

Fearless yes, profitable not.
Amazing you remember all this history. I can't remember what ran last week.

Good to see favourable post about this trainer.
Also noticed he posted chances of their runners here(couple months ago), and then stopped?

Swan Prince --was this the strong front runner?
