Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I have been assailed on all sides over my article bagging the Alpha Jockey Club for charging $100 a head to get into the races this weekend, and after considering the views of my critics, I have to put my hand up and say that they are right and that I was wrong. Alpha’s race […]
Dr Whiting PhD has gone demure this week. No skin, just hotplates, coffee, horses, knives and a cup. And a whole lot of winners to go with it. Have a highly prosperous day. Donald Trump said that. He won Iowa in a landslide in the 2024 election too. Perhaps that’s an omen for the nude […]
Peter V’Landys hasn’t even left the building yet, but all of a sudden the sex has gone out of Sydney racing. God has won the fight, and just to demonstrate it PVL didn’t even deign to gloat. He just moved on, and swung the largest broadcast deal in football history. V’Landys said he was going […]
Archie Re your story about wins an extra ratings points. It is common for a horse to not get penalised for winning a set weights plate race when it is well in compared to its benchmark rating if it were to be a handicap race. Below rating of 68 there are full point increments and […]
Paraguay. Stuck in the middle of nowhere surrounded by countries who can actually play soccer like Brazil and Argentina, and the gangster state Bolivia too. What hope did they ever have? About the same as they have about beating the Socceroos. Nil and Buckley’s. $4.20 Australia to win? Who are they kidding? Just get on.
The joint harness/gallops review of NZ Racing – which was never even at all, because the gallops always held the majority vote – has come up with recommendations that are going to all but kill the trots. There are five of them. These are the headlines, Be afraid trot people, be very afraid indeed. Here […]
Let me preface what is about to come by saying that I am an Australian born Kiwi citizen and passport holder, and am very proud of it too. I love New Zealand. But as a nation we choke. That was made obvious in the 2007 rugby World Cup quarter final when the All Blacks kept […]
Fuck knows what Karl Stefanovic is on, but you only need to take one look at interviewing the mad right-wing racist Tommy Robinson to know that it’s something. This is not the Karl we used to know from the morning show. The fella we are looking at is off his tits. He’s out of his […]
Gitalong wins two races, one at Gladstone, the other at Roma. This bloke’s a rating 71 horse before either win. It doesn’t get any penalty or increase at all for the Gladstone win, and remains a rating 71. Then comes the Roma win and Gitalong goes up just two ratings points to 73. Compare that […]
Archie Get yourself over to Mt Isa on Saturday as a jockey. Ride 5, go slow, stay safe, and walk out with more than $1200 plus any prize money you earn. And $800 from Racing QLD to help pay for the trip. Happy days. Rob from Rangeview
