Incredible, like Shane McCaffreys Nationals win while a teenager - Impressive. I've known Matthew since entering his first JoeyGlide at Narromine in a dry hornet, & in only a short period of a time he's won a day at a nationals. Something I've been trying to do since 2004/2005 - round two at the multi's hey Matty?!
