Celebrating 2010 with Cheap Sham Pain – Lance Benson
The Chinese Zodiac lists 2010 as the year of the golden tiger. It will also go down in history as the year that South African horseracing was sadly horribly mauled in the public domain and virtually bled to death. I surfed the racing forums in a bid to find the positives and good amidst the embarassing morass of negativity. Thank goodness for our great horses, trainers, owners and jockeys. Their brilliance overshadows the politics and badly behaved hangers-on, even on a bad day. Cold comfort then if you are off-side. 2011 is, after all, the year of the rabbit.
