Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
No Notthebuttons was a very well-placed Emma Stewart trained youngster who won 9 races, none of them in particularly notable grade. After finishing third in a no-name race at Melton, he disappeared for a few months before re-emerging in the stable of Darren Elder. Elder couldn’t get him to go at all. Nine starts for […]
You’d have to go a long way to see a better front running ride than the winning one of Stacey Callow on Muschialli at the Gold Coast yesterday. The King’s daughter – does that make her a princess? – rode the perfect race. Magic it was. You could show Stacey Callow’s steer at apprentice school. […]
Random human sampling? WTF? Which riders did they eat? Do you reckon they tasted good? Most of them would be a bit like quail in my opinion, and the ones who aren’t would taste like old leather. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I wouldn’t want a sample of one of them though. […]
Wanna see a great drive? An absolute masterclass? Then look no further than Luke McCarthy’s winning drive on Steno at Albion Park tonight. It was sheer perfection, and in quite unexpected circumstances too. Drivers steer. Maestro’s adapt and perfect. Luke McCarthy is the leader of the orchesta. Just have a look and see. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APM27062608.mp4
Mr Butterfly In a follow up to the Alpha story, I had a giggle at the bookies response. First of all I wonder how many of those trainers, owners, bookies and, jockeys who stood up and defended the meeting’s entry price actually had to part with $100 to get into the track? Scribe will tell […]
Gee wasn’t Marketplace impressive winning at Albion Park tonight? The 4YO Kiwi was racing against horses who will next month be lining up in the heats of ID26, and he treated them with contempt. The time wasn’t anything flash, but he ran home in 26.5 and Luke never cranked him up from 3rd gear. As […]
Apparently the thing in the picture that the Naked Tipster Dr Whiting sent us with her tips was a splash back. It was meant to be a tip in the Tatts Tiara, but it went straight over my head. I eat out every night, what the hell would I know about domestic kitchens? Or want […]
I told you that if it came up mud at Eagle Farm then Rollup was a chance in the Battle of the Bush. It came up mud. And he won. At $18.00 SP. God bless you mother nature. You’re a wet T-shirted honey. https://www.tab.com.au/racing/2026-06-27/EAGLE-FARM/EAG/R/4
Weren’t you hard done by if you landed the Caulfield quaddie today on the corporate bookie’s default dividend on the Victorian TAB? You got only half what it paid in NSW, QLD, SA, NT and TAS. Same with the Victorian tote and Tabtouch punters. They have all been had. It’s hard to cry over a […]
Oh dear. David Fowler has just called the inside horse Ka Bling the winner of the Battle of the Bush final. It didn’t win it. The outside horse Rollup did, by about a head. A longish one too. I guess the best you can say is that at least caller Fowler is consistent. Editor’s Note […]
