Just noticed that Rilo Gear is lining up for his 100th start tonight at Richmond. This marvellouslly consistent sprinter has been a credit to his owner/trainer, as he has managed to keep racing at FFA level despite his advanced years.

A note of interest, his granddam Maria McPherson is a sister to Donington Flyer (who was a middle distance TAB winning stayer). Donington Flyer is the great granddam of this litter of Addis Boy x Venus Express pups ;-)
