CHAT WITH BRENT THOMSON
“No doubt, he (Dulficy) was the best horse I rode for Colin, especially when he won the Cox Plate in 1979. He was an untapped 3yo back then, won the VRC Derby easy, went to Sydney and won the Derby there too. Colin Hayes always said he was the best horse he ever trained, which is a big statement.”
IT’S CARNIVAL TIME IN MELBOURNE!

The partnership between horse and human is ancient and elemental, and it is not going anywhere. If anyone needs reminding, they need only take in the wonder of Cup Week.“
