Archie Finds Yet Another Way to Get a Favorite Beaten
As the caller said there are certainly some ways to get beaten in this punting game. And I have this amazing ability to find them all. This one above is yet another.
Jared Wehlow’s New Gig as Winton ‘The Real Deal’ Veall’s Form Man
Rockhampton based gallops man Jared Wehlow made the headlines last week when he announced his retirement from the training game at the early age of just 37, telling Racing QLD reporter Jordan Gerrans at the time that he “planned to have a bit of family time and enjoy doing something different.” Well in an exclusive […]
A Strange Rumor Sweeping the QLD Trot Tracks
There is a troubling rumor drifting across Queensland trot tracks about a looming betting scandal soon to break. We don’t have enough information to publish names, but things being mentioned are a high-profile owner, a driver who may or may not be competing in the Ultimate Drivers Championship, the punt, and $30 000. That’s all […]
Two Lovely Pieces of Riding
There were only two races run at the Sunshine Coast yesterday before the weather called the meeting to a halt, but they were enough to showcase two lovely rides. Angela Jones put on a peach to win the first on I’m Heroic, a textbook classic. She sat, she steered out, she sprinted, she won. Perfect […]
The Puppet Master Has the HRV Stewards on a String
If you have even in your life seen a trotter that should have been disqualified – or better put, must have been disqualified -from a win its the leader here in this race at Stawell. Driver Chris ‘the Puppet’ Alford should have his nickname changed to the Puppet Master, for after seeing this you’d have […]
All the King Ever Needed to Start Winning Races Was a Glamorous Life – He’s Found It
I know the 7-year-old pacer King Kulafu well, as one of my mates used to own the pacer King Kulafu and another used to train it. The horse was a dog. It would pull, hang, gallop randomly during races, and turn it up in weak events that it was entitled to win. My mate gave […]
A Very Tough Beat – And a Funny, Funny Ride
If you had backed the favorite The Hairdresser in the 6th at Rocky yesterday you have very good reason to be throwing chairs and kicking in walls, for it sure was something beaten. First the fave misses the kick by a couple of lengths and lands out the back, and I have to say that […]

Protest Upheld – Bit Should it Have Been?
I had a good bet on Mac Bon, the winner on protest of the last race at Newcastle yesterday. Even after watching the replay six times I am still not sure I should have collected. Mac Bon is the horse behind the leader as the side-on film rolls. You can’t see much there that would […]
Have a Head Butt Horse
Gemma Hewitt’s runner in race 4 at Albion Park yesterday Kerbang had been a pest to rival driver Alanah Richardson all race. It had been sitting behind Richardson in the run following her helmet, and at times looked like it wanted to eat it. Richardson had gently tried to stop Kerbang from annoying her by […]
