Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
They are no fun at all these HRA board members. Just when a bloke like Turbo spots a good and totally legal money making scheme, the stuffy shirts at HRA go and shut it down. It’s outrageous. What I am talking about is the newly introduced amendment to the National Ratings System applying to horses […]
This is the worst Steward’s decision in the world, and the dodgiest one too. A teenage kid claims more allowance on runners at a non-TAB meeting than he is entitled to, by mistake. The mistake is not his, it is the Stewards. The Chief Steward had issued an edict some time back decreeing that apprentices […]
The New Jersey Racing Commission runs the Monmouth gallops track (and the Freehold and Meadowlands paceways). In September last year the Commission became the first racing authority in the USA to introduce a rule that bans the use of the whip in races by jockeys, other than for strictly defined safety reasons. Due to […]
Poor bloody Frank Pullicino. Just like Ben Yole down south of the Bass Strait, he had 4 of the 7 starters in the trot at Globe Derby last night. And just like Chainsaw he walked away with nothing but small cheques and broken dreams. Third, fourth, sixth and seventh. Ryan Hryhorec didn’t do much better. […]
How does this work? Four horses get beaten 45 metres or more in the last race at the Hobart trots on Sunday night. Three of them are trained by Ben ‘Chainsaw’ Yole, the man who kills horses and then gets them cut up to be fed to dogs. One of them, Keep Playing, got beaten […]
So we’re off and away, and we get to Mareeba without incident, and I share a few stories of crocodile killings along the way, then we turn left on the road to Mt Molloy and an hour later we get there and all is so calm that it’s just like two normal people out for […]
Yes, the Boxer ran into the cow, but thankfully he didn’t hit it. It did cause him to reduce his speed from 100k’s an hour to 60 for three-quarters of the final duration of the magical mystery trip, and it was annoying, but it was nothing compared to the 50 he went down to after […]
The NSW Stewards have ordered Jason Grimson to place all of his horses in the retention barn from 12.00pm Sunday (today) until 8.00pm on Saturday 12 June. That means the horses are already there. But Houston, we have a problem. Grimson has only one horse entered to race this week. That horse is Hidden Courage, […]
We sure have stepped on a hornets nest and opened Pandora’s Box and let the monsters out with out stories slamming the QRIC Stewards for their treatment of young apprentice jockey Cody Collis and the owners of the horses that he rode at the incorrect weight due to a bungle at a meeting in Bundy […]
Merv Butterworth, the owner of the great Kiwi pacer Copy That, has been in touch this morning to tell us that he reckons his stable star can overcome the horror outside of the back row draw to win the prestigious 4YO Harness Racing Jewels over the flying mile today at Cambride. In fact Merv, who […]
