Getting a write up on the front page of Trotguide is probably the 2nd worst Hoodoo there is & sadly Grand Stride duly fell victim.
The worst Hoodoo of all of course is getting a pre-race wrap on Sky Channel from 'The Minty Men' (Hamilton & Guerin). Those guys could stop a train.
G'day breno,
You can sometimes have enough Mojo to fight the good fight and overcome the Trotguide front page...but you can never beat The Minty Men.
Move over Jimmy The Greek's 'Lock' of the week. Step aside old Lou Richards and his Kiss Of Death. Bow to true evil Hats Aitken...for the Minty Men have all your numbers.![]()
