Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Earlier this week we wrote an article saying that Ikagai, which had galloped at 10 of its 14 previous starts, including in the first round of ID26 heats, should be banned from the series. Blessed Are They Who Gallop in an ID26 Heat, For They Shall Be Forgiven – If They Behave Chris from Clontarf […]
There is this desperately optimistic punter who we will call Barry. Barry had a 19 leg multi for a $1000 outlay on Neds, which if successful would have landed him a collect of almost a quarter of million bucks. He nailed 18 of the 19 legs. The 19th leg – leg number 16 in the […]
There was much conjecture that Japanese jockey Shuichi Terachi may have jumped off his mount at Port Augusta a couple of weeks ago. We came out and said that was nonsense, and declared that the kid fell not hauled off. Well guess what? The Stewards report is out now, and it is confirmed that the […]
Everyone’s favorite Kiwi trot syndicator Andrew ‘the Canary’ Fitzgerald has pulled another classic rort on the unsuspecting punters keen to get a foot in the game, and this time he has outdone himself. The Canary bought a filly named Dream Light at the Gavelhouse online auction for $5 000 three weeks ago. https://standardbred.gavelhouse.com/results/search?search=dream%20light&page=0 He is […]
I hate to say it, but this Inter Dominion 26 pacing series is absolutely shite. All we have is Leap To Fame v a badly drawn The Janitor and Bay of Biscay v Grimson’s born again pretend superstars Minos and Dangerous. What a joke. Just look at the first 2 heats on Saturday night. The […]
Archie Just got back from the Jundah Camels. At the start of Race 1 a old battler came over with a board with 200 squares on it numbered 1 to 200. “I’m raising money for Shane McGovern’s partner” he said. “Square numbers $10 each and you win a gorilla if your numbers drawn”. “Give me […]
Rugby league writer Dean Ritchie has this morning named his best all-time State of Origin team (above). I reckon he has got it mighty wrong, just as New South Welshman always do. Here is my team. I would back them to beat Ritchie’s any day of the week. ——————————————— 1. Billy Slater 2. Jarryd Hayne […]
Ikigai is a trotter who had broken into a gallop at 10 of its previous 14 starts coming into Saturday night’s first round heat of ID26. She should never have been allowed to start in the series, because the horse is a danger to other runners. In the heat he again busted up at the […]
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow Some smarties are saying that prominent Victorian bookmaker Lay Off McLachlan is contemplating registering a business called the Sally Snow Fab Club, with him as the Chairman. We for one don’t believe it, because Knackers and Sally’s boss R. Waterhouse aren’t widely known to be close […]
This is the photo finish for 2nd in race 9 at Dubbo on Friday. The judge said that the inside prevailed, and the Stewards agreed. I reckon they are both wrong. There is no way that there is separation between these horses noses and the line. I am not saying that either or the other […]
