Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The rider of the second horse Ryan Maloney fired in a protest against the winner, alleging interference at around the 1oo meter mark. Take a look at it from both angles and see what you think. We would have upheld it. The Stewards didn’t. It’s just a matter of opinion. And its theirs that matters […]
Dear Archie, To the best of my knowledge Todd Austin was disqualified for a period of 5 years starting in 2023. Heard a whisper he was at Blackall races on Saturday. Cavanough left some horses behind owned by Toni Austin and Gary Peoples (after winning at Aramac). Have they been getting worked early out of […]
That’s a monster of a sentence the 25 year disqualification handed down to jockey James Innes Jr this week by Racing NSW Stewards, one of the heaviest short of life that I have ever seen, although to a 30 year old mid-rung rider life is what it really is. I don’t know what Innes did […]
Tough-guy American actor Charles Bronson once starred in movie called “Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus” which was about trying to preserve a child’s wide-eyed innocent belief in a jolly fat man in a red suit breaking into her house and leaving presents under the pine tree stolen from out of the bloke down […]
There has been much debate over whether Darren Weir’s 2-year disqualification for using the jigger on his Melbourne Cup runners a few years back was t00 light, manifestly excessive, or just right, with the latter being the broad consensus. Whatever your thoughts on the controversial topic are, there is one thing that is certain beyond […]
This is the far from madding crowd of activists standing outside Geelong today shouting abuse at racing fans and calling them complicit to murder. It’s lucky we punters are a hard headed with thick skins borne of a thousand quaddy killers, otherwise we might actually take what these idiots say personally. The lot of them […]
The winner of race 6 at Mildura last night came up the rail to win. It didn’t hold onto the victory for long. Stewards disqualified the horse. Gee I don’t know why. Do you? Ha ha ha.
It seems that the racehorse Sydney Bowler needs a new part-owner. One of the current ones had just been disqualified, so he is not allowed to own his share anymore. Which is probably a good thing because the owner – a certain Mr. Jason Love – received his 4 month disqualification (reduced to 3 if […]
Lombo Pocket Watch was one of the greatest juvenile pacers that Australia has ever seen. This horse won 18 races in a row as a 2-year-old, including five Group 1’s, and became the first of his age ever to win the Australian Horse of the Year. Being a rare grey in color, he was also […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC21102504.mp4 Lulu Mae was backed from $9.00 into $3.80 to win race 7 at Albion Park yesterday. That was bit odd because she was a rating 64 mare racing against males rated up to 75. Money talks though. Win Lulu did. 1.51.4 she went. Which is a bit weird. The fastest time that Lulu had […]
