Chris has driven the winner of the first at Bendigo tonight to take him to 7,999

He has a genuine chance in R8 at 9.33

Otherwise could he do it on the big stage of the Hunter Cup tomorrow night

Maybe Queen Elida beats Just Believe in the 2nd heat of the Great Southern Star

Chris has nothing tomorrow or Tuesday and nothing jumping out as a good thing on Wednesday
We will await Thursday and Friday's fields

It was pronounced last night that the winners circle at Melton would be known as the Chris Alford Winners Circle from now on

Would it maybe be fitting that he got to 8,000 on the horse where the sulky snapping maybe cost him being on 8,000 already?

Park Lane - Wednesday night Ballarat R9N5

Quite the remarkable feat. 8,000 winners is driving 1 winner every day for nigh on 22 years (25 years if you get Sunday off).

How many winners did he drive for the Stewart stable and yet they seemed to drop him like a hot scone
