Xtc12 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Goosen Maverick 13.15 Fontwell 6 Pts Win @ 1.83 (bog) Attracted support in a few occasions and jumped better than previously over fences when off the mark in a 6-runner contest at Warwick. Up 10 lb and that was a weak race (though second has won since). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
