2023 STUD AND STABLE STAFF AWARDS
Results
ACCUSE (7) was able to follow up winning a weak Casteron handicap with a much better win at Geelong. Beat HASSELTOFF (3) there and the Toff has since come to Flemington and won well, beating a handy one down from Sydney. Good looking formlines for a race that doesn't look like taking a lot of winning. Lean to Accuse improving again and keeping Hasseltoff at bay but there isn't a lot in it. IMA SHELBY (8) is also off a win and can measure up again. Beat OCEANOGRAPHY (9) who looks a real chance of turning the tables. RAJNISH (13) is another in winning form, albeit not in the deepest of company. Respected here all the same.
