lucifer sam 3,953 Posted July 16, 2018 It wasn't the most enjoyable meetings on Saturday, by any means. If Josh Auty had not been there, it would have been 15 processions. Then again, it is the height of summer, without any rainfall, and track prep is currently a nightmare. I wish Scott and Jamie Courtney all the best, and it was good to be them doing something to entertain the crowd (the kids, in particular) with the interval attraction. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
