Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Queensland country racing is in the doldrums. We have few trainers, even less horses, bugger all prizemoney, and huge overheads. Peterprofit.com has a plan to revive it, and make it great again. This is the plan, or a rough sketch of it to start. Background There were were 5 country meetings run in the Central […]
Once upon a time ‘Super’ Mario Borg was the darling of the South Australian harness administrators. That was back in the days when he was the President of the SA Country Harness Racing Clubs Association, and those in charge needed his vote on the board to assist them in the cause of their civil war […]
