i'd suggest (guess) it may've been sold other than that some of the people connected to the horse when it was in adelaide read this site & may log in & tell you/us

perhaps the gurus on the 5rph harness show tomorrow morning may know & they may tell us

Horse is not sold, after his last bbq on the trotter when he tried to sit outside ronrail and put him away with lap to go and got beat a country mile the decision was made, plus the fact that he wants to drive them himself.
You`ve got genies bennett and wayne inness sitting in the stand, whilst this wombat wants to drive it himself.

Turn it up span, its like having P Biddell driving saldivar and D Harding sitting in the grandstand pulliing his pr..k. M ROLFE should just worry bout getting the horses to the track..

I would have thought any paying owner has their choice of stable or driver..

If they are not happy with M Rolfe's training or driving and he won't leave a better bloke on > then they have every right to change stables, without telling anyone why they did it.

Not the first bad drive rolfe has produced. Have seen him get upper crust beat a few times since he's had it. Last time as a BBQ, other times missing the boat!!!!!!!!!! Always been average driver!!!!!!!!!!

Rolfe has always been good trainer/conditioner of horses!!!!!!!!!
Just should put a professional driver on!!!!!!!!! Why wouldn't Iron Hudge improve with a leading driver on???????????
