Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The betting market for the Rising Sun at Albion Park on the 4th of July is insane. Captain’s Mistress is the $1.40 favorite. I don’t know why. The fastest time she has ever run is 1.48.9 at Menangle, which admittedly is very quick. But if that is all she is running then Marketplace will whizz […]
I was researching a story about this year’s Rising Sun, and came back upon the past. Which caused me to ask this question. Have you ever seen a greater team drive in a big race than this one by Grant and Trista? Natalie and Mark pulled some beauties in their day, and so have Luke […]
I absolutely guarantee that you have never seen anything like this in your life, no matter what sport you follow or what code you love. Leap To Fame holds the track records at Albion Park for every distance regularly run, from every start type that it is run from. From the Creek mile of 1660m […]
I reckon I first started telling you about peptides about 6 or more years ago, back when I started writing about the extraordinary achievements of trainers like Jason Grimson, and how they could heal sore horses and turn their form around and transform claimers into Inter Dominion winners in a very short space of time.

Archie playing with the clowns this week at the Port Douglas Carnivale – It might well have been in Rocky where he lived 25 years ago, where he watched Cath Freeman win the 400m at the Sydney Olympics and in whose Mater Hospital his baby daughter was born. The clowns have always been in charge of […]
John Zielke was one upon a time the premier trainer of 2YO’s in QLD, back in the days when he used to be in charge of Evan Hartley’s horses. It all seems so long ago not. Zielkie is what the Kiwi call a waka jumper, a bloke who instead of committing himself to something long […]
Hi PP, I read your Captain Ahab article with interest and agree. To be fair though, King of Swing’s stats have been far more underwhelming for the hype and beat up he was given. Plenty of people that were telling all and sundry how good the quality of his progeny were looking —— well, they […]
Cracker of an original painting by Maggie, available for just $200 if you want to buy it You can say or think what you like about Tim Mander, and many are at present, but I reckon that fundamentally he is a decent bloke, not withstanding his obvious infidelity, which I am led to believe was […]
