Apropos of my comments above re Mantra Lad turning up for the Sale Cup and spoiling the party for others, I have since noticed that he has started twice at Sale and been beaten each time, including once behind Salegreys in 37.42. P.S. There was a good dog called Apropos (Vic who did some racing in NSW) back in the early-mid 196Os, however, there is of course a dog called almost anything. There was a racehorse called Anything in the very early 1960s. I remember it winning at Caulfield on my first visit to that track. It was a handy city class horse. Maybe I should call a dog "Almost Anything".
