Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
I reckon this protest decision is dead wrong. The winner Brillar is in the Godolphin blue. Willie Pike’s mount Givara that protested is in the red, black and white colours. Verbek in white is the meat in the sandwich. Take a look at the side-on first. The margin is skinny isn’t it? In another stride […]

In the day we sweat it out on the streets Of a runaway American dream At night we ride through the mansions of glory In suicide machines Sprung from cages on Highway 9 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin’ out over the line Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back It’s a […]
The All-clear for the race was delayed to permit Stewards to review the Judge’s initial placings as it was their observation that KABAYO KING and ARCTIC PEGASUS had carried the incorrect numbers and had started from incorrect positions, although on the correct handicap mark. Having reviewed the official vision the Stewards satisfied that the identity […]
We have been trying to warn everyone for a long time now that the FBI racing busts in America were the beginning, not the end. For over a year now we have been writing stories telling you that the phone taps in the USA picked up drug cheats from all over the world talking about […]
You may remember the case of Norm Loy, the country gallops trainer who was last year disqualified for three months after the following comment on his Facebook page about the then NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian: “You are the biggest fucking moron Gladys Berefucklien. How can you lockdown an entire state you stupid fucking mole. All […]
