Poor old TOM won't get into the winners stall for the same reason I can't get into the Bronco's first grade team.

This bloke is just an unlucky horse, if things had gone his way he'd have won a couple of nice races.

Great to see one of our old favourites win today & break a 3 year drought.

After his patchy firm in the Spring, I was thinking the chance of winning another race might have passed him by. But today’s Carrington Stks won was really strong. It would be a great story if he went on a winning streak now after so many 2nd placings.

Good on you Tom

Don't say to retire him to luxury.
My son has 2 retired race horse pets on his 80 acres and with the drought and his financial struggle ..     WHO do you think has to buy the .hay/chaff.

He is an animal "softie" and wouldn't surprise me if he is feeding the Roos too.

Just like champions can skip a generation or two, it is good to see that in humans cold heartedness, thriftiness and selfishness can skip a generation.

Poor old Tom seems to draw shocking barriers  or at least that's my impression. Lemme see:

8/12
16/16
9/10
18/20
7/8
1/11- hooray
8/11
3/13- yippee
4/10- sweet
14/16
