Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The word out of Tasmania is that some people believe that there are a cartel of Turkish jockeys working together to do some funny things on the race tracks of the Apple Island. The leader of the pack is said to be a handsome, smooth talking and suave senior hoop named Ismail Toker. Toker is […]
Tom Raudonikis left us for the great Cambelltown Oval in the sky 6 months ago. Someone must have forgotten to tell Racing Australia about Tommy Terrific’s passing. The great man is still this morning listed at the owner of Fisticuffs. Oh well. I guess he does own the biff in perpetuity.
This was received last night from a harness racing industry expert. It is a very astute analysis/ Well there is the ultimate exercise in stupidity from Harness Racing Victoria. Why did it edit the video to cut out the interference in the straight? If it wasn’t TABCorp putting up the replay in its entirety someone else […]
On the back of a totally unexpected boom in wagering revenue during lockdown season, Racing Queensland have delivered a super impressive (on paper) $11.5 profit this year, and the whole Deagon office is walking around high-fiving and slapping each other backs. Enjoy it while you can RQ can-can dancers, for the bad times are just […]
We told you in our live coverage of the fight that Deontay Wilder looked to have broken his right hand in about the 7th round of the epic battle against Tyson Fury on the weekend, and was stuck fighting a world champion with one hand for the last 12 minutes of the fight. Most media […]

It should be a Group 1. It has to be a Group 1. It must be a Group 1. The pattern committee sucks. The pattern committee should be sacked. The […]
361 days of non-stop hype later, and three media blitz bomb days to go, and on Saturday here we are. Everest day. Ho hum. Strip away all the hype, concentrate on quality not the dough, and what do we have? A sprint race. Wow. A not very exciting sprint race either. The usual suspects have […]
When a dual licensed jockey/trainer has a runner in a race they are not allowed to ride any other horse. Black and white, no ifs or buts, full stop, end of story. As we told you a few days ago, dual licensee Cheryl Rogers rode a horse in the 2nd race at Gayndah against one […]
The 5YO mare Benoni had been around 33 times before she finally broke her maiden at Coonamble on Sunday. Good on the mare and her connections, but there was something very, very weird about the win. Three weeks ago Benoni ran second in a maiden at Warren beaten a long neck, at a price of […]
How the hell did former Albion Park and APG Gold committee man Trevor Reilly get away with registering this name? Say it out loud. Gee I wonder what he’s pushing up the hill?
