The Frank Robinson-trained Wylie Hall mare Star Choice gives Craig Zackey a double. This seven-year-old mare was “retired” over three years ago, but refused to get on the float as she did not want to be separated from her good friend, stablemate Love Bomb. Robinson kindly led her back to the yard and told the prospective buyers he would find them another horse. Star Choice has paid back this kindness in no uncertain terms. Under Robinson’s ownership she has now won seven races including her last two and she is not slowing down yet. (Candiese Lenferna Photography)
