Horse Racing - A Book About a Famous Race Horse

I was interested in asking you about this because this book horse is about a famous race horse, and you ride about some of those great races this horse was involved in.

You think about the melbourne cup, seven horses put down in ht years at the melbourne Cup, as it alwaysiais always been disgusting. It's disgusting.
