Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A prominent QLD racehorse owner is said to be up to his neck in the emerging pork industry scandal that has seen four people arrested accused of alleged large-scale financial crimes. The owner – who under the law cannot be named until he makes his first court appearance on 14 September – is, like fellow […]
I don’t want to seem like I am somehow lining Jason Grimson up for shots, because I am not. Never met the bloke, couldn’t give a Friar Tuck about him, all I care about is the trots and it running straight so that dumb mugs not in the know like me and most others can […]
We have been jumping all over the story about how trot driver Jason Grimson failed to attend an inquiry into one of his very dodgy drives at Albion Park recently, and so far has gotten away with it clean. The Jason Grimson Drive That the Stewards Want to Question Him About – And the Bits […]
Race 2 at Emerald on Monday was a disaster. The club has been granted TAB status and given a number of big earning meetings telecast on Sky 1. So they do this. And the QRIC does too. You would have to be kidding. Race 2 is the one where it all went wrong. Pride of […]

Wanna see a killer drive? Killer as in dead, deliberately or by mistake. Then Kylah Madden’s steer below on Chief Copy – who was backed off the map from $4.60 into $1.90, and even shorter in some quarters – is the one. Now call me chivalrous, or old fashioned, or gentlemanly, or even sexist if […]
Following the running of this race it was established that a member of the public had entered the racetrack and positioned herself close to the inside running rail near the 300 metres. Club staff were advised of this incident and security was immediately notified. No runner had been affected by the actions of this person […]
I Think I’m Getting Old and Going Mad Archie I’m with you on the Sydney protest. Dismissed. Zac Lloyd’s horse initially laid out when he had the whip in his right hand earlier in straight, he put the whip in his left hand and then the horse laid in. Lloyd pulled the whip back through […]
The Shane Jackson trained Andy Win, which only had its first start over the sticks 3 months ago back in May, did the near impossible yesterday at Ballarat by taking out the Grand National Steeple at it debut over the bigger fences, completing the very rare GN Hurdle-Steeple double in the process, something only 2 […]
