NARKS HIT FOR 66

TRAINER Danny Williams has hit back at “social media experts” critical of his handling of stable star Shelby Sixtysix as the Group 1 winner prepares for Saturday’s Listed Chief De Beers (1110m) at Doomben.

In recent weeks many armchair experts have questioned Williams’ decisionmaking in continuing to race his stable star this preparation.

“The horse lacks fitness so we need to run him or spell him but with the ground the way it is, spelling is not as easy as it sounds with the wet ground,” Williams said.
