Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]

Now its Barcaldine’s turn. This struggling club’s feature Battle of the […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/MEQ03062601.mp4 We have been telling you for a long time that the NZ 4-year-old Marketplace is a superstar. Yesterday in a trial at Menangle the brilliant Kiwi proved us correct. Yes it was only a workout, and yes Marketplace had a soft run and all the favours, but the fact is that he won and […]
NSW trot trainer Brendan Flaherty has been disqualified for 2 1/2 years for presenting his filly Gisselle to race with methamphetamine in its system. It is an outrageous penalty. No-one actually dopes their horses with meth, because it is obvious they will throw a positive swab if they do, which means that Gisselle’s positive was […]
James Orman is a very nice young lad, born and raised of very good parents. He is also an outstanding jockey, and an an extremely smart and focused family man. Back when he was still an apprentice and I helped hook him up with his lovely now wife Heidi, Jimmy told me that his ambition […]
