He recently caught up with George Farrugia on GRV’s Thrill of the Chase and explained his first foray into greyhound racing. Star sprinter Papi Go Fast,…

Plus, Up Hill Jill’s 2017 G1 Topgun and 2017 Golden Easter Egg wins. The ‘stage’ at Shepparton on Saturday wasn’t nearly as big, but oh ‘Boy’ what a night it was for Geall. Geall landed the Shepparton Classic (450m) with rising star Ferdinand Boy (Jan ’19 Fernando Bale x Nayla Swift), who has drawn comparisons with his ‘uncle’ My Redeemer and ‘aunty’ Up…
