I don’t know what it says, or what it is all about, but this clearly offensive graffiti appeared on disqualified trainer Luke O’Neill’s fence this morning.

Crackerjack it was called of course. Cracker drove Crackerjack to win. I backed it at $8.00. It firmed into $4.40. Onya you […]

Many this week are asking the question after Maher was granted an exclusive lease from Racing NSW on the 125 box former Grand Lodge stables at Warwick Farm following its $20 million purchase by the racing regulator. This latest stroke of good fortunes […]
I rate Ashley Klein as the best referee in the NRL, and have never had any cause to question the calls he make during games at either club or representative level. But this week’s revelation that he has had a major issue with gambling addiction, one so serious that it has seen him lose half […]
