Vlad Putin is a very, very scary man, and a real smart one too. He is stupid too. Putin has forgotten the fundamental law of world conflict and common sense. Russians are tough. But Albanians, Turks, Afghans and Ukrainians are tougher. That’s why the Turks knocked us off at Gallipoli. And the Albanians rolled the […]

Do you reckon this race was a fix? It’s the 2nd at the Valley, and Ben Melham rides the winner. I don’t. But a couple of well connected readers say that it was a welcome back Benny benefit, a charity event put on by a few jockeys to show their colleague that they think he […]
In the greatest disgrace of a discretion since Club Menangle gave HRNSW CEO John Dumesny’s nephew Robbie Morris’s ordinary pacer Charlaval a start in the 2018 Miracle Mile, the club committee has this year given the under-performing ex-hero Expensive Ego a spot in the big one over 3 x Group 1 winner Stylish Memphis and […]
