Alford To Drive Mafioso

Written By admin On Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Victorian driver Chris Alford has picked up the drive on the Peter Tonkin trained 4 year old Mafioso in Friday Night’s $200,000 Group 1 Chariots of Fire at Harold Park.

The change in drivers has been forced on Tonkin with Gavin Lang who piloted Mafioso to his win last week in a division of the Hondo Gratton sprint confirmed as the driver of Sammy Maguire who he co-trains with his father.

Boom WA pacer Im Themightyquinn is the horse to beat from his gate 3 draw. He should start from 2 on the front line with the emergencies being withdrawn.
