Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
We got a tip yesterday that a number of police cars were spotted outside the Biddaddaba property of N40 owner Josh Davine (also known as Josh Tinning), and were planning to follow it up today. It looks like the ABC have done it for us. The story below by Elise Worthington was published on Aunty’s […]
There is no better illustration of the problems plaguing north island New Zealand harness racing than the near farcical programs scheduled at Cambridge and Alexandra Park tonight and tomorrow night. Cambridge has managed to draw enough entrants for just five races, none with more than 9 starters, and not one rated higher than NR47. https://infohorse.hrnz.co.nz/datahrs/fields/101502fd.htm […]
Hey Archie. Just thought I would share an experience I heard about from yesterday at Albion Park. A good friend told me the following …. I left work about 2.30 and called by to watch a couple of races. As usual there were two men and a dog there. Quiet everywhere, hear everything going on […]
What an absolute cracker of a meeting it was at Eagle Farm yesterday. Just six races, half of them maidens, one with only six runners and two with just eight. An early and main quaddie that overlaps in two races. What is the point? Running such a poor program costs as much it earns. There […]
In a most unusual, and somewhat questionable development, members of the Cairns Jockey Club who were physically present at last night’s AGM have voted by a show of hands to defer the final count of the ballot for the positions of President and committee members until the 25th of November 2026, a delay of over […]
