We have been writing for months about claims of misconduct being made against the boss of a major standardbred yearling sales company. There are only two. Nutrien and APG. And the Nutrien boss Mark Burton is a stand up guy who respects women to the nth degree. APG CEO Anthony Essex (pictured at top) is […]
News just in. The sexual harassment case against the yearling sales company boss that we told you about the other day is not the only one. There is another too. We have seen and heard some of the evidence. It’s ugly. This bloke should be sacked on the spot. Apparently he’d got form from a […]
The grey horse is One More Bout. It was gone by the 200m mark, and finished well out of the placings. Sadly for the hopes of those who backed the only silver colored horse in the race, the hapless Sky channel race caller declared it the winner. That is what we used to call back […]

The jockey shortage in QLD that we have been banging on about for ages is really starting to bite. There were late scratchings everywhere last weekend due to a lack of riders. Racing QLD have never done a great deal to address the problem, and it has continued to do nothing by way of fuel […]
Bookie Bob is on the ground in Albury shaking hands and scoping the scene for the Farrar by-election to replace his favorite former MP Sussan Ley in the seat. He reckons that the betting markets and the mainstream media have got it all wrong. One Nation are absolute certainties in his book. Apparently the electorate […]
Harness Racing New Zealand are the latest principal racing authority to offer increased expense stressed participants some relief from the extra financial burden placed on them by paying them fuel subsidies.
