Stable Tour Quotes
Joel Parkinson and Sue Smith (15 December 2025): "The old yardstick is in great form and he is new after changing yards. He was at Tjade Collier’s but Chad has joined us with him and he ran a grand race at Newcastle on Saturday. If we placing him right he will soon get his head in front."
