Racing at Borrowdale Park in Harare - Zimbabwe 
I am looking for information on the horse named Missy Franklin.
I read it has won the Zim Stakes but I don’t know when, who owners are or where the horse is now. Thank you!

After reading your blog post, I browsed your website a bit and noticed you aren’t ranking nearly as well in Google as you could be. I possess a handful of blogs myself, and I think you should take a look at “groupbuyseotoolsinfo”, just google it. You’ll find it’s a very lovely wordpress SEO tools that can bring you a lot more visitors and improve your ranking. Keep up the quality posts

Thanks Shae. I am going to start concentrating on WordPress soon – more than on my Facebook racing pages – so might be able to find out more about what I should be doing. Thanks for your advice but I am working on a shoestring – no budget.
