Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The controversy is flying thick and fast about Kim Kelly’s departure from the no 2 gig at the QRIC, and I can understand why. Kelly was a huge addition to the integrity ranks of QLD racing, and along with Catherine Clark a breath of fresh air to the long troubled organisation in charge of the […]
Keith From Queensland, who was watching the Channel 7 coverage of ID26 because he bought a huge flash TV with a recent win and was too pissed to drive to the TAB, rang me several times on Saturday night, often disturbing me mid stroke to another sling for a bet root* by asking “Who is […]
Hi Pete, What the hell is going on with our South Australia Harness Stewards? Dean Girardi’s drive on Oaklander last Wednesday at Port Pirie that you wrote about was a disgrace. So now you can take on a $1.75 pop and get beaten 112 metres and no action will be taken? Instead the Stewards blame […]
The national anthem was sung prior to the ID26 final by Brooke McMullen. Hollywood John’s granddaughter (pictured above together) and Leader Peter and Nathan and Mitch Dawson’s cousin. Brooke is a Dolly Parton impersonator by trade. It showed. What a shame she wasn’t singing the Star Spangled Banner. We all might have all enjoyed it […]
Hey Archie, I agree that Grant Dixon made a mistake, however I think it was at the start when he could have gone inside Max Delight instead of following him, watch it again you will see. Here is the biggest disappointment of the night for mine. People were being turned away at the gate. We […]
Many punters including us were shocked to hear Jason Grimson prior to the ID26 Trotters Final say on national television that, on the advice of Toro Stride’s previous trainer, he had removed the plates from the horse and that it would race in the final without shoes. We are not saying it was the right […]
Hi there Archie, You nailed it in your article about Saturday night’s Inter Dominion final. The Inters are now a circus being run by a grubby clown. Your words ” vomit in the gutter ” is what I felt like straight after the race. It is 90 years now since the inaugural running of a […]
The long running Alligator Blood positive swab in the 2020 Magic Millions saga is set to move to its next phase with the second iteration of the Stewards Inquiry into the matter commencing this Wednesday and continuing into Thursday. Most racing fans will know that the matter has been subject to a seemingly endless string […]
I am not going to pile into Grant Dixon’s drive in the final, even though it cost me a 4-figure collect. Dissecting the driven now is not going to help me or anyone else, so I will keep it brief. Leap To Fame was drawn out in the car park on the second row, and […]
Wouldn’t it be great to have a partner who was as hot as summer in the equator, one of the world’s best soccer players, loved you madly and earned $2 million a year? Nathan Cleary is the luckiest man on earth. Gee I wish I was him. Maggie does too. The cow. Mary Fowler signs […]
