Quote of the week
I wrote about Vroom Vroom's remarkable comeback some weeks back. The fomer Argentinian star won again yesterday and in an interview with Tim Habel from the Melbourne Sun, trainer David Hayes gets the quote of the week:

"The Hong Kong people won't believe this," Hayes said. "He was just hopeless that way of racing, instead of going north-south he was going east-west."

Considering the horse's career has also involved all points of the compass I thought it was a somewhat amusing comment (and not least in reference to his inability to handle right handed tracks).
