Leading form analyst and RSN927s very own Deane Lester details his lifelong involvement in Racing in a must-read edition of RSN’s Behind The Mic: 20 Questions Series.
What first got you interested in Racing, and at what age?
I was pretty much born into racing my parents ran a stud farm, so I was surrounded by horses right from the beginning.
My earliest race-day memory was going to the
Cox Plate in 1972 when
Gunsynd won as a four-year-old. Roy Higgins rode him, and he was a family friend of ours.

Star jockey William Pike is poised to chase more interstate success with the man of the moment snapped up for a prime pair of Group One rides in the TAB Classic and Australasian Oaks at Morphettville next week.
The Wizard of the West will continue his association with the Tony and Calvin McEvoy-trained Sisstar in the TAB Classic (1200m), also known as the Robert Sangster Stakes, on May 1.
He piloted the improving mare, which is a full-sister to the McEvoys’ former superstar Sunlight, to victory last Saturday in the Listed Bel Esprit Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield.

This stunning Pierro colt ticked all the right boxes at the Inglis Premier Sales. Not only is he a spitting image of his Champion Sire, his dam MISS PROMISCUITY needs no introduction and made her own mark in her day - one of the nicest breeding matchups we ve seen!
Why this boy received top marks from Michelle:
> PEDIGREE - He received a 10/10 mark here. Sire is a gun and the Dam really caught my eye!
> BOLD ATTITUDE - He moves with real purpose, has his ears pricked, and has a great presence about him
> ATHLETE - He s a really forward moving colt and the type to get up & running early for us!
