Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Race 1 – South East Derby 2138m This is one of the hardest races of the night. Forget Maxo Mighty’s run last time out when he galloped at the start and lost all chance. It doesn’t mean that he is a certainty here, only a risk, but if he paces all the way the Grimson […]
I mean no disrespect to WA driver Michael Munro as either a man or a good human being, which I am sure that he is; but dead set Munro should have his license pulled. This drive of his on Paraquet in the 2nd race at Gloucester Park last night was an absolute disgrace. Munro either […]
By Ben Dorries 05:14pm • 03 July 2026 The Queensland Racing Integrity Commission has convened an inquiry into the bizarre circumstances which saw the wrong horse of the wrong sex compete at the Albion Park trots earlier this week. QRIC deputy commissioner Kim Kelly point blank refused to comment when contacted by Racenet, other than to […]
The tip is that Tact Teeva will lead in race 8 and hold, and that its driver the great A.M. Butt will only hand up to one horse when it comes. It’s stablemate Bettors Anvil. When he does its game over. Mail from inside the TAB bunker is that Bettors Anvil had been backed for […]
The rumor mill is running hot that a horse that raced at Albion Park on Tuesday afternoon may not have been the pacer that he seemed, or was supposed to be anyway. The word is that it was not a deliberate ring-in, but rather an accidental one that saw an incorrect horse compete under a […]
It’s cold, wet and miserable in Melbourne, but after tipping you a $3500 First 4 last weekend the Nude Tipster Dr Whiting promises to bring some more warmth to punter’s hearts at Flemington tomorrow. The Docto’s best bets come early on in the program, so punters should have plenty of money to fill up on […]
Victorian Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell is nothing if not a show boater and shameless self promoter, as she proved by wearing this dramatically styled dress to her federal parliamentarian boyfriend’s midwinter political ball. It is hardly appropriate though is it? The ball is supposed to be a non-partisan social event where ideology is […]
We see some pretty amazing things happen in QLD racing Stewards Reports, or purport to happen anyway, but I reckon this one takes the cake. The start of race 5 at Mackay yesterday was delayed so that jockey Ryan Wiggins could view the footage of the start of the race and have a look at […]
Luke McCarthy trained the pacer Hesitate until a couple of days ago. Now all of a sudden it is trained by South Island NZ mentor Regan Todd, who just so happens to train the Kiwi superstar Marketplace, which has been staying at Luke’s place for the past month. Marketplace is a huge chance in the […]
See the excerpt from the Stewards report of the Emerald race meeting on Monday (above), and the one below. SUMMER SIZZLING – Underwent a pre-race veterinary examination due to having not started in a race for a considerable period of time and was cleared to start. Began awkwardly. Raced keenly in the early and middle […]
