Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I am about to show you the home straight finishes in the three Group 1 races at Alexandra Park last night. The finishers in each race ran extremely quick times. In fact they could not have run any faster even they had wings. Note one very important thing. Not one of them were flayed with […]
It is a little known fact that Danny Nikolic is Australia’s greatest Michael Buble fan. In fact D. Nik is probably top ten in the world in the Buble Fan Club Stakes. I know it’s a weird thing for a rumoured tough guy to do, but Danny has been given the inside run to book […]
You don’t like to gloat, but we’ve been telling you that Merlin was the best 2-year-old in New Zealand since the time he could walk. We were right too. Last night in the Young Guns classic at Alexandra Park he took them to town. You got better than evens too, which was like Santa coming […]
In a statement released by Racing Victoria on Friday, the industry says it has asked the Racing Integrity Commissioner to: • Create the chance for historic victims of physical or sexual abuse, assault or harassment, to report concerns and complaints to someone independent of the racing industry and to access support services as required; • […]

It appears that the controversial former NZ Racing Chief Steward transplanted to Tasmania Ross Neal is a leopard who takes his arrogant spots with him wherever he goes. The Tasmanian’s are calling him the Hangman, for it appears that whenever a licensee rings him with a tricky question, rather than answer it he simply hangs […]
Kevin Seymour A.M. is a man who judges success by the numbers. Clip Clop’s are big, huge in fact. He is Australia’s 140th richest man. His net worth is $950 million. That puts him just $50 million short of being a billionaire. But he’s 83 years of age. Will he make it to the thousand […]
What the hell is a VIT? How come one of them is on the Steward’s Panel? Why is that person Brad Tamer, the Head of Customer Experience at the QLD branch of the TAB, and its number 3 man? Isn’t having a bookie as a Steward somewhat more than a little bit off? And rather […]
