    This is unbelievable but TRUE.

    I am just back from a night of socialising. A woman (dog breeder) who I have met several times previously says to me I have been told you like horse racing and then proceeds to tell me a few years back she sold two dogs to a Melbourne Cup winning trainer called Michael Moroney. I told her yes I knew the trainer and sadly he had just passed. She did not know. What a massive coincidence.

    This woman told me there was only one dog for sale and she was asked if the pup had a brother or sister. Mike was told yes but unfortunately it had an overbite. He responded no problems as he had trained racehorses with overbites and he then proceeded to purchase the second pup. Apparently there are media pics of him with the dogs.

    Now you would have to agree that is an incredible story from earlier Thursday night.
