Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Brisbane’s Whiskey Au Go Go nightclub may have been torched as retribution for its links to an illegal heroin trade by a competing Sydney drug operation backed by corrupt cops including Roger Rogerson, a court has heard. An immigration investigator says he took the unusual step of “coming out of the shadows” to warn police […]
The Brisbane jockey’s premiership looks a whole lot different now than it did a couple of months ago when we last wrote about it. James Orman’s golden run of success has seen him leapfrog Jim Byrne and Ryan Maloney, and now he sits 4 wins ahead on 58 1/2, with Byrne second 4 wins astern […]
The Whiskey Au Go Go manslaughters – people slaughters, not murders, for the homicide wasn’t intentional – ended with 15 people dying. It wasn’t meant to be like that. The building was just supposed to burn down. But a few fuck-ups fucked up, and the flames flew up, and the doors were locked, and there […]
We got it wrong in the Gallen fight. Sort of anyway. Kris Terzievski isn’t much good, we were right about that. Gallen can take a whole lot of punishment, we were right about that too. But we forgot that he punches like a fairy. How stupid of us. The two free cheap shots he took […]

The betting market moved like this. Go Jack Ryan blew like a gale out from $2.50 to $6.00. Beneath The Shadow […]
Good Feelings is an 11-year-old pacer who has been running since Jesus was a boy playing fullback for Jerusalem, or since Easter 2013 when we celebrated his scintillating stint off the tombstone bench anyway. Up until a few weeks ago the veteran pacer was racing in Tasmania, where under the superb training of Mr B. […]
The Trot Rods is a cracker. Just ask Racing Queensland’s spin doctor department, they will tell you. Every bastard wants to bet on a one lap pace race, they’d be mad not to. That’s why the turnover on the Rods is so high. Check this out if you don’t believe me. The QLD TAB turnover […]
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 […]
