Having given my age away in another thread you will now know that I fit into the grumpy old man age bracket (that is a warning as to what is about to follow)

Being pretty much exclusively a Vic follower and one who has come and gone a few times, I did not know the linked story but instead of being inspired by it - I am just thinking suss

Maybe some WA followers can set me right so that I can see it all rosey

My first problem is that he leased a horse, Maru Adios, that had not run a place for 3yrs and won 11 races and placed 22 times in that season

Things had improved but he was still struggling and thus driving Zakara but Zakara was never going to be put in work except that he had to find something for a couple of employees to do (struggling but had 2 employees he did not have enough work for!)

Then Zakara at his first hit out was expected to be tailed off but instead beats a Gp.1 winning stablemate.

Like I said - call me grumpy and correct my misperceptions but I would much rather see a story about how Adam Sofoulis's horses come to wear Pink Monkey racing colours, as a promotion for our sport than this.
