Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What a great race the New Zealand Trotting Cup is. Despite the name it’s actually a pace, because Kiwi’s are weird, which is why I am an adopted one. They are a great race of people. But are their horse good enough to beat the best Australians in the Cup? It’s possible, but I doubt […]
Hello Tiger Which Inter-Dominion winning NSW trot trainer has had one of his horses throw a positive t0 cocaine, and thrown one himself too? The trainer subsequently had his all his starters on the weekend scratched by order of the Stewards. Word is that the pokie palaces in the are in which he lives benefited […]

You went there armed, no doubt to ensure compliance with your demands. The complainant the subject of the offence in count 2 has suffered […]

What the hell went on in the Cup? Why did Ben Allen ride Royal Supremacy like it was Vo Rogue over 2oo0m? Sure this horse usually leads, but not like this. They send out pacemakers in feature UK races every day of the week, but its not how we do things here. In Australia jockeys […]
