This is Natalie Hinkley’s Swiftbet stand at Flemington today. As you can see there is nobody there. Natalie didn’t show. It must have been a bloody big night out at the Crown after the Call of the Card. The Cup result wouldn’t have helped her hangover much. Swiftbet laid the winner for plenty. Oh well, […]
Robbie Waterhouse played the absolute cat at the Call of the Card yesterday, rarely taking a bet. He is so fat these days that he probably couldn’t reach down to write a ticket. What a cracker of a gut. Call him Norm. Someone give Mr Waterhouse a good jab of Ozempic. Roberto sure does need […]

The matter has been deferred for hearing until the end of the month, but given that […]
Captains Mistress made a triumphant return to her home land today by blitzing her rivals in the Kaikoura Cup at the prettiest trot track in the world. She got a bit of help from her stablemate Minos driven by trainer Jason Grimson, who looked around six or seven times for her when he was in […]
Brittany Graham has taken the NZ racing media by storm since moving across the ditch. Today at Kaikoura she took the racecourse by storm too with her trotter Tetrick that she took over with her. Britt won the Cup! Aussies do it better. But at least it was Kiwi trained.
Want to see some huge money flying around? Then watch the replay of today’s Call of the Card. Your jaw will drop.
