Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Father Wayne has faith in God, the goodness of his people, and the Freo Dockers. I personally disagree with him on all three counts. The Dockers choke of the century today puts me 2 – 1 up, with the jury still out on God. “How did we lose that?” the Freo fans are all asking […]
“Medal, Medal Medal has made it three Cups in a row!” the caller at Ewan yesterday declared. It’s a shame for the callers connections that he wasn’t right. The inside won. Never mind son, David Fowler often gets it wrong too. At least you had a crack.
The online abuse directed at jockey Tyler Leslight by other racing participants, and the threats made to him, are absolutely disgraceful and totally out of order. The Stewards failure to take action against those involved is too. We can reveal the names of those involved. Justin Hodges – who is not the footy player, but […]

Racing QLD and the QRIC are going to be amalgamated, the Minster announced two days ago, demonstrating […]
As we have told you previously, Duke Of Bourbon is the best 2yo trotter in New Zealand, and probably Australia too, and he might even be the best of his gait up to three in either country too, he is that good. The problem however is that the Duke is a head case. He just […]
Lachlan Murray – in racing parlance the Cod – has been the acting CEO of Racing QLD for a long time now, about a year and a half in fact. Why? Who knows. The only thing for sure is that as an actor, the Cod has won no Academy Awards in the role yet. Here […]
“It’s a bit like buying a cheeseburger for the pickle. You don’t do that. People come to our game for the game.” – Peter V’Landys, talking about Grand Final half-time entertainment. PVL reckons that the game sells the show, not the half time entertainment. I guess we will see on Saturday whether or not he […]
