Looking back, there's actually been very few rugby league three-peats ever. There is, of course, the St George Dragons and their eleven in a row between 1956 and 1966.

Yet the…

TAB Million Dollar Chase night at Wentworth Park gained the attention (as ever) of activists yet, mid-meeting, enthusiasm waned and numbers diminished.

The jockey who stole the limelight was heavyweight jockey Jamie Mott who at the age of 34 won his first Group One race when he was successful on the Danny O'Brien trained Callsign Mav in the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes. Mott who stands 181cm tall must work every day to keep his weight down. Somehow, he has managed to do so and as O'Brien pointed out…
