A Clear Conflict of Interest
Brent Williams is a member of the NZ Racing Integrity Board, (RIB) the allegedly independent body appointed by the government to endure that racing is run clean, and deal with matters when its called into question. How can a man do that job properly in a manner that open and above board and beyond question […]
Was the Melbourne Cup the Greatest Team Ride That Australia Has Ever Seen?
What the hell went on in the Cup? Why did Ben Allen ride Royal Supremacy like it was Vo Rogue over 2oo0m? Sure this horse usually leads, but not like this. They send out pacemakers in feature UK races every day of the week, but its not how we do things here. In Australia jockeys […]
Forget Who Her Dad Is – Taige Weir is a Gun
Horse trainer Taige Weir is tainted by many due to the fact she is Darren’s daughter, and the doubters believe that she bowls for him, which is simply not true. Taige is a gun, and her success has nothing to do with her father except by teaching. I came across this young woman for the […]

It Must Have Been a Big Night at the Crown
This is Natalie Hinkley’s Swiftbet stand at Flemington today. As you can see there is nobody there. Natalie didn’t show. It must have been a bloody big night out at the Crown after the Call of the Card. The Cup result wouldn’t have helped her hangover much. Swiftbet laid the winner for plenty. Oh well, […]
Call Robbie Sir Les or Norm
Robbie Waterhouse played the absolute cat at the Call of the Card yesterday, rarely taking a bet. He is so fat these days that he probably couldn’t reach down to write a ticket. What a cracker of a gut. Call him Norm. Someone give Mr Waterhouse a good jab of Ozempic. Roberto sure does need […]
Cup Day is a Compulsive Punters Delight
Melbourne Cup day offers a myriad of delights for those punt junkies addicted to the non-stop thrill of a bet. And I’m talking about those who only punt on Australian and New Zealand gallops races, not the maniacs who stay up all night chasing a winner across three codes all over the globe. The Australasian […]
