[AusRace] Mr Magic

[SteveB]

Thanks Nick,

My long gone mother, used to follow them in the Australian religiously, 
and reckoned they  were great.

Considering Brian Courtney and other top trainers(neighbours) of the

then he must have been ok.

 From memory, his dad was a great footballer in WA and Vic.

I would assume this new service is just a scam.

Steve
