Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
On Sunday sections of the Callaghan Park home straight were too wet to race safely on, and the Archer meeting scheduled for that day was cancelled. The Rockhampton Jockey Club CEO claimed that the sodden patches of the straight resulted from a sprinkler malfunction, which seems to be the excuse every time something goes wrong […]
Hi mate, Hope you are well. Sunday at Forbes, Race 7, Nathan Turnbull stablemates try to team drive to the point of desperation. Seven Tee Two comes to the death to pressure the leader, Always Adorned who had upset the plan of Sunset Jay Jay of leading. Turning for home, leader still going well, Seven […]
There are 7 races at the Warwick gallops meeting on the Darling Downs on Thursday, with a total of 92 runners competing across the card. Such great sized fields are a wonderful thing for Queensland racing. There is just one problem, and it is not the usual one about a lack of jockeys to ride the […]
Hi Archie. Re your story re Workcover and trainers in Qld. Even if a trainers or any employer for that matter doesn’t have a workcover policy, Workcover will cover the worker for injury regardless and then deal separately to try and recover costs from the employer. They will try to negotiate a settlement with the […]
Dashing was the $2.60 favorite to win the 6th race at Albion Park on Saturday night. If he had been driven properly he probably would have won it too. But Nathan Dawson didn’t drive him properly at all. He drove the favorite in a manner that looked for all appearances like he wanted it to […]

There is a paucity of open class pacers in New Zealand, and has been for some time. Entain has poured a poultice of money and intelligent ideas into harness racing in recent years and this is changing, but such things take some time. It will be different next year, but for the moment the shortage […]
Bookie Bob from Albury – whose real name is Daniel T. Crimmins, Mick’s brother – told us a fortnight ago that One Nation were certainties, and to get on at the $1.75 the TAB was betting, or pretending to bet at least, proclaiming that it was the overlay of the century. Crimmins at the time […]
Betnow is owned by Betting Services Australia Pty Ltd (BSA). As we told you the other day, BSA owns and holds the licenses for 15 corporate bookies, all of them bottom feeding shitmen who limit quadrella payouts to $2000, regardless of the stake invested. A lucky once a year lady punter won almost $3.3 million […]
Families stick together. And stick up for their own. David Fowler’s dad sends me emails under false names arking up on behalf of his son. Good on him too. My daughter stands up for her dad too. Solidarity. She says the Bantam can go and kiss her ass. He won’t of course. She and her […]
