Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Ka Ying Rising was the Mike Tyson of the racing world. The superstar of the sport, an equine athlete who couldn’t be beaten by anyone. Or so we all thought. Tyson entered the ring in Tokyo against Buster as the $1.02 favourite, with Douglas at $47.00 to beat him. When Tyson knocked Buster down and […]
The video has been cut and edited, so it is hard to know exactly what happened to cause the Caulfield Cup fall. What seems inevitable is that a rider came in sharp, and maybe another come out. It is difficult to know who. The thing that is clear as crystal is that a young NZ […]
7 of the 8 greyhounds in the Million Dollar Chase Final have trainers with shocking convictions. The 2026 MDC finalists Canya Mayhem — Trained by Jessica Hopkins Hey Arnold — Trained by Melinda (Minnie) Finn Pound Keeping — Trained by Melinda (Minnie) Finn Shaq Keeping — Trained by Melinda (Minnie) Finn Jungle Johnny — Trained by Mark Gatt Magical Ang — Trained […]
Kyle Wilson-Taylor has returned to QLD after his sojourn in the Kiwi winter cold and sleet. It wasn’t a very successful one, KWT went over to Aotearoa talked up as the next thing. But he didn’t deliver. Four winners from eighty rides was his record, at a miserable strike rate of just 5%. It’s no […]
Greyhound racing at Wentworth Park is gone, and I am sad. They were packed to the rafters last night to say goodbye, and it was amazing to see. But it reminded me of the funeral of that bloke you and most others never really had much time for alive, but turned out in droves to […]
The CEO of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Committee Cindy Hook has walked the plank, and exited stage left. As a result the whole Olympics show is in disarray. But there is a simple way to fix it. Appoint the QRIC Commissioner Catherine Clark to take Hook’s place. Cath Clark is a gun. She has run […]
Military veterans are poorly provided for once their service ends. My wife’s little brother Wil – who we brought up as a son – served in Iraq, and got really fucked up by what he saw and had to do. Wil is an engineer, and was a platoon sargeant. He and his troops were rebuilding […]
N40 boss Josh Davine has sent us the following statement in relation to the AFP raid at his home yesterday. We print it without edits or alteration. In June DVA advised they had concluded an investigation into one businesses I owned and that no fraud had been identified. In September I launched a $5.5m to […]
Only one harness racing meeting being held in QLD on Sunday. It is at Marburg, and it is an all square gaiting (trotting) card. There are just five races on the program. Two of them have a mere five starters, which is disastrous for betting turnover, particularly given that they are both standing starts for […]
Trainer Jason Morgan has two horses accepted for race 4 at Callaghan Park on Saturday. One of them is a 3-year-old gelding called Sport. Me thinks he might just be a bowler there to hold up the field, and that he will soon be scratched. But I am just a cynic. Sports has never raced […]
