How bloody good is “The Bool” was the famous cry by colourful racecaller Ric McIntosh and its become the catch cry for Booligan’s alike. With only a couple of days to the famous 3 day carnival, the RTD team are pumped with St Arnicca flying the flag for the team in the time honoured Brierly Steeple on day 1.
The courageous 6YO gelding by Canford Cliffs took all before him last season running great races to be beaten by Saunter Boy in a couple of features, but he got his just desserts to win the Grand National at Ballarat. He is now progressing to the steeples as a seasoned jumper and we cant wait to see how he goes on Tuesday.
The team will be spearheaded by team captain Rob Norton and we will have a huge crew of owners and RTD supporters again this year. If you are planning on coming down, make sure you touch base and catch up for plenty of fun and laughs.
