Ardra’s Stormy Picket Fence
Apr 24, 2018Ardra Storm is a grumpy mare and she created a storm of controversy when winning at Ararat in February. Some keyboard warriors felt she should never be allowed to race again for her antics on that day. We say it was out of character for her and Robbo did a magnificent job to ...
