Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It took a little detective work and a bit of reading between the lines, but the mystery of a harness trainer’s 2 x 6 month disqualifications has been solved. Because the QRIC elected not to publish the person’s name we shall not either, even though we know who it is, and shall refer to them […]
We have written repeatedly and at length about the injustice handed down to Paul Tonkin, a good honest man who had served his community and its people faithfully for all his life, and then got publicly shamed and disgraced by the NSW harness racing authorities for an unintentional breach of the rules caused by cross […]
It’s news to me that jockey Chris Whiteley had married fellow rider Wanderon D’Avila, or that he had adopted the Brazilian bred hoop’s last name. But I am glad that Australia allows people who want to pledge their life long commitment to each other to fulfill their dreams. I am all for it. Let love […]
It’s 12.30am on Tuesday morning and finally I have returned back to Port Douglas after my marathon journey to Swan Hill f0r the 3-day carnival. I was put through the trials of Job along the way, but gee it was worth it. Swan Hill is a ripper. A great track, great racing, a great club […]
Good morning Archie From what’s being said Jordan Topping has another animal welfare case, not sure what it is but RSPCA are lurking. If that’s the case as a repeat offender she should never be given a licence and is not a fit and proper person to be in any code. Question is why wasn’t […]

Due to a series of debacles on my journey to the 3-day Swan Hill Carnival – including a stolen suitcase with my laptop inside it (and most of my punting bank, but that’s another story), broken glasses leaving me virtually blind, a lost Epipen, and long, long hours on the punt with Keith from QLD […]
Today the great Australian writer Gerald Murnane was awarded an AO for services to literature and teaching. Gerald has been in the first 2 lines of betting for the Nobel Prize for Literature for what seems an extraordinary run. He is revered internationally by his peers, and his otherworldly writing has been profiled in The New […]
As you would know we have been writing for a month or so now about Mt Isa jockey Jason Hoopert appearing in the Mt Isa Magistrates Court on charges which are unknown, but which we are led to believe involved drink driving/riding. https://peterprofit.com/?s=hoopert Hoopert’s most recent court appearance was just last week, which is curious […]
Ka Ying Cheer won at Swan Hill up on the banks of the Murray River on Friday. I saw it with my own two eyes. There was no way in the world that it was ever going to back up at Flemington at the other end of the State the next day, or anywhere at […]
