Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Horse of the Year – Verry Ellegant Her Cup made a bird of it. What a great galloper she is, a true champion. He’s a brilliant mentor that Darren Weir isn’t he? Stayer of the Year – Verry Ellegant No need for any explanation. Middle Distance Stayer of the Year – Verry Ellegant There were […]
I don’t know that punters this Xmas will be decking the halls with bows of lolly, for it seems to be the season to fall off-eee. On Monday we had Dean Yendall go tumbling from a plunge horse at Terang when it was so far in the front that it decided to duck in and […]
You read our story yesterday about Globe Derby only having had enough horses entered to put 6 races on Saturday night’s card. Well the reason is that all the good horses went to Mildura to race last night. I counted 21 of them, which is a hell of a lot considering the distance they had […]
Justin Fung, son of Hong Kong Tony. This bloke looks like he can run a $500 million racing empire doesn’t he? And elephants can climb trees. Oh, by the way, this is where his Dad was going to build an international port, and a world class casino. Michael King is another bloke that we have […]
The Thrill of the Chase is a really brilliant program commissioned by Greyhound Racing Victoria and broadcast on demand on Seven Plus.

Uncle George and Aunty Dawn on their wedding day. Maureen Garrard (Angus’s Grandma), her sister Aunty Karen Shea and my Dad were in the bridal party. The 15 people Australia wide involved in the vegan activist group Coalition For the Protection of Greyhounds (CPG) are earnest, but not very bright. What you see above […]
Saintly Rose was backed from $15 into $10 in the third at Terang today. She was home at the 100m mark. And then this happened. Is it any wonder that all horse players die broke?
Well hasn’t it been a hell of a weekend in the COVID Vax Stakes at the tracks around Queensland? We’ve had the State’s leading race caller out of the box (the good news on that front is that the reports are that Josh Fleming is getting the jab this week), we’ve had some jockeys allowed […]
Lost amid all the excitement of the ID21 series and its aftermath is a landmark achievement by leading harness race owners Scott Whitton and Jodie Foster, the couple who race their horses under the Tumby Park banner and predominantly My Ultimate names. The victory of My Ultimate Lizzy at Newcastle night was Tumby Park’s 100th […]
