Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Is NSW the harshest state on offending in greyhound racing, or does it jus have the most cheats? We are not sure, but the number of licensees in the State currently serving periods of disqualification is staggering. 67 licensees – most of them trainer – are presently put out on DQ. That is more than […]
It doesn’t matter whether Jason Grimson is training or driving, you can’t beat him. He is just too good. Take a look at the last race at Menangle yesterday if you don’t believe me. Outside Fighter is a 9-year-old battler trained by by hobbyist Julie Henman, who only has two horses racing. Including yesterday, the […]
I have lost count of how many times we have written on this website about jockey Daniel McGillivray breaching the rules of racing. Whether it be drugs, careless riding, the whip or whatever rule it may be, you name it, D. McGillivray is there. He is off and away again. Last Sunday week at Dalby […]

We are told that it dates back to a recent meeting at country Dingo, and a dispute that arose about the allocation and placement of stands. Untoward behaviour was said to have followed. It […]

It should be a pristine showpiece for the sport. Instead it has become an absolute hovel. These pictures were taken at GP before the first race on Tuesday evening. What […]
Kylie is a megastar. The AFL getting her to play at the grand final is huge. You’d watch the game just to see the show. Tones and I is that Dance Monkey bird. And even for a million bucks she refuses to sing it at the NRL Grand Final. So V’Landys told her to go […]
Archie I might have to respectfully disagree over the “closing country tracks saves money” narrative, as experience shows that “decreasing the footprint” via country track closures and a reduction in meeting dates in WA, has had a catastrophic effect on numbers of licensed participants, number of owners, number of breeders, number of foals and ultimately, […]
Hey Archie A couple of ones for you to consider, firstly the Lions getting up, what a sensational game, but the behaviour of the Hawthorn supporters at the end was disgraceful and so typical of these supporters who walk around with the cock strut that says we are here to claim our god given right […]
The latest newsletter to Australian Turf Club (ATC) members from administrator Morgan Kelly reveals that the cash strapped club spent $4 million in legal fees fighting Racing NSW’s moves to put it under Kelly’s control.
