Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Call me a cynic if you will, but I have a question. Why did Shane Graham take the horse in the blue to the outside of the leader rather than go inside it up the sprint lane? It wouldn’t have been to give the horse three back the fence Bronski Zulu a free passage through […]
Kingman was a good horse when he was with Emma Stewart. He won 7 from 25 while in her stable including a Tasmanian Derby, and he was in and around it in some of the better class races of his age in Melbourne like the VicBred Super Series. But he wasn’t quite there. Kingman’s form […]
The ninth running of Sydney’s Group 1 $20 million TAB Everest set a new record for World Pool wagering today as a 50,000 plus crowd at Royal Randwick watched Hong Kong’s Ka Ying Rising win the world’s richest race on turf. Watched by hundreds of millions of other viewers around the world, Ka Ying Rising […]
The Steward on duty in the mounting yard at Rockhampton yesterday noticed that SEACRYPTION wasn’t wearing blinkers when it came out for the 7th race. The race book said it was supposed to be, so the ever vigilant stipe pulled the trainer up and said “Oi Boof, where’s the blinkers?” “Where they are bloody supposed […]

A picture tells a thousand words. Some say two to the Valley. Like this one of todays crowd at Randwick says to Peter V’Landys knockers. Have you ever seen so many young people at a race meeting in your life? I’ve been goin to track for half a century and I haven’t, not even at […]
What a great night of harness racing we have ahead of us at Melton tonight. We will try to give you a few winners to make it even better. Couple them up in exotics and quaddies and you will finish the night happy. RACE ONE A tough race to kick off the glittering night of […]
Dr Whiting discusses the form with the famous French punter Marcel Duchamp The Man in Black doesn’t handle Caulfield so we have him aside until the carnival. You’ve got the Nude Tipster Dr Georgia Whiting instead. I know whose tips I prefer. And she doesn’t wear a suit.
Anyone who thinks greyhound racing is on its last legs should have been at Wentworth Park last night for the Million Dollar Chase, and then they’d realize how mistaken they are. There were thousands on Wenty, and all of them from the young starter with the big smile to the old lady sipping a glass […]
