Turf Talk Highlights Jersey Races and Stable Moves
Jersey races look tough but the boys win. A pot was lost on Fairy with no Croker-Dwyer link. Marty Bergen bought two year-old Pecksniff at Gravesend, not for gambling but to secure a mount.

Bill Brien trains numerous high quality youngsters at Jerome Park and Counsellor plans a big stake impact next year. Volunteer Tl is racing again, rejuvenated.
