Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I would have given you 100-1 on Monday about the Miracle Mile being able to be run at Menangle tomorrow night. Nathan Jack told me it was a certainty, but after seeing vision of the flooding in the region I didn’t believe him. More fool me. But I am glad to be wrong. Huge ups […]
This Peg, Northview Peg. She is a superstar in a sold out syndicate promoted by Andrew ‘the Canary; Fitzgerald of Off N Racing Syndications fame too. He syndicated the mare to himself, if at all, as you can see. Peg has got a brilliant record on the track. She’s won 2 from 42. No wonder […]
Meet Max. He is a strong, powerful colt by BUY KIWI MARE from the well-bred Live Or Die mare LIVING GLORY. Or at least that’s what the Canary – Andrew Fitzgerald, managing director of Off N Racing Syndications – says, and he should know, because he owns Max’s mum, or one of them anyway. Living […]
Nathan Jack is the most hated man in the history of the Harness Racing Victoria Integrity Unit, bar none. Even the convicted and ten-year jailed Mokbel league meth cook and dealer Rod Weightman gets a better welcome than N.

Some people say we are picking on On The Bit Racing for nefarious reasons. Well let me tell you were are not. On The Bit Racing receives many hundreds of thousands of dollars of public money by way of contract payments from Racing Queensland, a government entity, for producing the broadcast of country race meetings. […]
Now CEO Brendan ‘Pins’ Parnell and his crew at Racing Queensland have abandoned the rescheduled race meeting at Townsville that they had abandoned the day before. Racing administration north of the Tweed just goes from the sublime to the ridiculous. The maximum temperature predicted by the BOM for Cowboy City tomorrow is 32 degrees. That […]
The eyes of the sporting nation were on Ipswich yesterday, as a race that no-one bar committed punters would ever have known was being run became one of the most watched sporting events in the land, and all because the favourite Sacred Oath was part-owned by a national hero who we lost in terribly unexpected […]
The damage to the reputation of an entertainer charged in a global sting targeting organised crime would be permanent even if he was named and then found not guilty, a lawyer has said. The entertainer was arrested in June, alongside about 40 others across the country, following the sting. He appeared at the High Court at Auckland on Wednesday seeking […]
