🚨🏇🥈 Better Explain 🥈🏇🚨 Siena Grima and Better explain show that the last start win together was not just a one off. Last start Better explain went to Newcastle and did nothing but he must have known Siena was back in the saddle. This was a great ride and just to be caught right on the line. Can’t wait to see where better explain goes to next but we know Siena will be getting the call up first. To all the owners congratulations on another great performance. Kind regards Tony Ball Racing

What can we say about this ride. 2nd last at the 600m a wall of horses in front and Siena comes wide and sets out after the leaders. 10/10 ride from a young lady coming through the riding ranks. This horse won so well at Muswellbrook two starts back and last start nothing went to plan with a fall in the race but today he showed us what he can really do and was in for the fight over the last 100m.
