Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Throughout Navarro’s years-long conspiracy, Navarro was the critical component in a network of fraud – the individual who amplified the corruption of horse owners and encouraged the corruption of his underlings. For example, on May 29, 2019, Navarro held a conference call with the owner and operator of a racing stable in California, for whom […]
B. The Doping of XY Jet Notwithstanding his hypocritical and self-serving claim to have “loved” the horse, Navarro’s course of conduct with “XY” Jet merely exemplifies his aggressive pursuit of new drugs with which to dope his horses. Navarro’s frantic efforts to dope “XY Jet” in advance of a February 13, 2019 precursor race to […]
I guess when one of your sires throws an Inter Dominion winner you deserve some fun. I’m just not sure if Alan Galloway from Alabar’s idea of it is the same as man. I rang Al this afternoon to have a chat about his now deceased sire Grinfromeartoear throwing the ID21 winner Boncel Benjamin, and […]

A harness racing horse is suspected of being administered a prohibited substance for the second time in a year. Johnny Nevits was a late scratch at the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club’s meet at Addington Raceway on Friday night. A Stipendiary Stewards report said Racing Integrity Board (RIB) investigators completed a stable inspection at the training […]
Dear Peter Profit As you may be aware, I have spent the weekend here on the island of Minjerribah with the internationally renowned human rights consultant Dr Sai-Coe, workshopping ideas for the campaign to change the name back from the colonial imposed Stradbroke Island to its traditional name, to raise the public profile of our […]
Brisbane trainer Lindsay Gough doesn’t like it when on the rare occasion we write about him, so we won’t. A picture tells a thousand words. Here is one from the Caloundra races yesterday. To save me the late night abusive phone calls, will someone tell Lindsay that the Stewards published it, not me. Thanks. It […]
Gilbert Joseph Cullen ‘Gil’ Dyett was a great Australian, a Gallipoli war hero, a passionate advocate for the rights of returned soldiers from WWI and the driving force behind the organisation that later became the RSL.
