Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Recently departed HRNZ CEO Brad Steele has been appointed as CEO of the embattled, debt laden Auckland Trotting Club. Apparently all but two of the board voted for the appointment, the dissenters being Chairman and current acting CEO Jamie Mackinnon and his daughter, who is also a director of the club. It’s hardly a vote […]
I am fucked if I know who this so-called rock star Robbie Mortimer is, but I do know one thing for absolute sure and certain. He should never be allowed to sing the Australian national anthem ever again, and the person responsible for selecting him to slaughter our country’s song last night should be sacked. […]
Queensland greyhound racing trainer Kevin Forrester – not the former jockey of the same name – has been disqualified for 21 months after being found guilty of improper conduct, misconduct, assault and threatening behavior toward a female QLD Greyhound Racing Club employee. And so he should have too. Forrester was found to have harassed the […]
Watch the horse on the outside. Oh my goodness. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s Superman. That was spectacular. Let’s just hope the jockey is okay.
Sunshine Coast trainer Billy Healey sent out a message to his stable clients a couple of days ago telling them that he had sacked his new Racing Manager Ben Currie. Some people believed it. Currie Racing has fired back. I know who I would bet on to be telling the truth about the whole affair. […]
Peter Fitzsimons is one Australia’s master sports writers. In fact Fitz in one of our all time great writers full stop. It doesn’t mean that he’s flawless though. Fitz wakes lyrical in his post-match Origin report about Robert Toia “the debutant Blues centre arriving exactly where history says its heroes must arrive – first”. There […]
What was Kalyn Ponga thinking? No arms. Full contact. High impact crash. That was a send off every day of the week. Just ask Joey Manu. There was no reason for it either. Billy should have picked Reece Walsh. Not doing so has cost QLD game one, and maybe the series. What a great game. […]
How do you spell go and f**k yourself? First look at the scoreboard, and then look in the mirror. Cleary and Tedesco. There is your answer. Ho ho ho! Kiss my arse. PS – Anyone seen where Maggie went with the dough? Last spotted heading for the airport.
Adman Hamilton has named his current top 10 pacers in Australasia. I beg to differ. Here are Hamilton’s, and then mine, with an explanation as to why.

It’s hard saying this a dyed in the wool Queenslander, but I don’t think the Maroons can win the opener in the State of Origin tonight. Poor selections, the Blue dominant record at Accor Stadium, and the form of some of our leading players are the big problem. Leaving Reece Walsh out is madness. Reece […]
