Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Archie I backed the program at the poly track today. Its ABC. Treat it like a heavy 10, wet or dry. Horses who can’t handle heavy tracks out , horses who can handle them in. It’s easy-peasy-Japanesy Stop bagging the joint. I wish they raced there every day! Happy punting A. Lunatic (Editor’s note: the […]
Thoughts on Stephanie Thornton on #19 campai at sunny coast. Hasn’t fully rode the horse surely?? Big market support late as well.

Until recently a community minded harness racing lover named Christine Clement used to – out of the goodness of her heart and for no personal reward – but a hundred dollars a week worth of sandwiches and cakes from the club run canteen at the Wagga track, take them down to the stables, and share […]
Fight promoter George Rose is the Don King of Australian boxing, a born showman who could sell ice to an Eskimo and paint a copy of a 1973 Woman’s Weekly as War and Peace. He’s certainly trying to talk up Paul Gallen’s opponent tonight Kris Terzievski as some sort of superstar, which is so far […]
When is the last time you saw 50 horses scratched from a meeting, when all of them could have got a run? You have today at the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, at the meeting moved to the poly track there from the Gold Coast due to the rain soaking the state’s south-east. There were 115 […]
Well that was inevitable. Why it wasn’t announced earlier in the week is anyone’s guess. We understand that the acceptance deadline will be extended until later today. Its hard to see too many trainers wanting to scratch. The 10 000 isn’t affected, but you would imagine that there will inevitably have to be changes to […]
Albatross, who was born in 1968 and died aged 30 in 1998, is generally considered to be one the greatest pacers of all time, and was the sire and grand-sire of two of others in the GOAT mix, his son Niatross and that horse’s son Nihilator, both now like their sire long dead. The male […]
We alluded to this a couple of weeks ago but didn’t mention names because negotiations were still ongoing, but now it can be officially confirmed (ahead of the actual official announcement) that Chief Vet Martin Lenz is leaving the QRIC after his position was made redundant. How a Chief Vet’s position can actually be abolished […]
Have a look at what driver Gavin Smith does to the horse in front in the 2nd race at Addington yesterday. It’s not’s hocking, it’s even more shocking. If this is not a serious animal welfare rule breach, then I don’t what is. Smith should be put out for 3 months at least for this. […]
On the 6th of April at Ipswich jockey Nathan Fazackerley came across in a race when he no right to do so, and caused carnage. The Stewards suspended his license for ten days, with an effective start date of midnight on the 15th April, meaning from the 16th onward. That meant that his license was […]
