The Knockout Punch
Deontay Wilder couldn’t get up from this punch. Only one man in the world could. The bloke who threw it. Holy hell. It hurts just watching it.
The Greatest Fight in 40 Years
Tyson Fury wins by brutal 11th round knockout. Wilder looked to have broken his hand in the 7th, and was fighting with one paw for the last 12 minutes. He was brave and gutsy and kept coming back when he looked gone. But Fury is the toughest man on the planet. You couldn’t knock him […]
This Isn’t a Fight, It’s a Freak Show!
If you are not watching the fight wait until you see the fighters coming out to enter the ring on the news tonight. They are dressed like they are going to a fairy dress ball. This isn’t a fight. It’s a freak show!
Look at the Scoreboard – Emma Stewart is the Greatest Trainer Australia of 2 and 3-Year-Old Pacers That the World Has Ever Seen

Why the Winner of the QTIS Maiden at Gayndah and an $11 250 Prize Cheque Must Be Disqualified – and How the Stewards Broke Their Own Rules
Cheryl Rogers trained the winner of the QTIS maiden at Gayndah yesterday aboard a hitherto very slow horse named Twogoboom, which had been bashing around tracks like Gympie, Gladstone and Talwood for 30 starts without saluting the judge, and had only been placed four times, but turned its form on its head. It was a […]
The Caulfield Guineas, a Cigarette Paper and the Cox Plate
What did we learn from the Caulfield Guineas yesterday? Heaps. Anamoe is a great horse. This bloke sat three-wide the trip, admittedly with cover, but out wide nevertheless. He did this in a race run at a pace that was resulted in a time that was only 0.72 seconds outside of Fields of Omagh’s fifteen-year-old track […]
Remember the Alamo
The first time Tyson Fury fought Deontay Wilder he somehow pulled a miracle out of the hat by getting up within 10 seconds after this. Fury was as lead and fit as he can ever get in that fight. He is coming into this one older, overweight and nowhere near as fit. Wilder’s punch is […]
Weight Stops Trains – It Will Stop the Gypsy Too
I have been around and followed boxing my whole life and a lot of my friends are ex-boxers or fans, and I can say without question that I have not heard more talk and seen as much interest in a world heavyweight title fight in the 20 years since Lennox Lewis fought Tyson than I […]
How Hard Can it Be to Give Racing People What They Want and Need?
Racing NSW’s website is not real user friendly. It is totally overloaded with information on the front page, the design conjures up visions of the year T-Rex beat Stegosaurus in the Cup, and the whole thing is as clunky as hell. But at least it provides the info a punter wants and needs, and does […]
Cost Benefit Analysis – Fail
I wonder what David Beirne and his bevy of gurus in charge of trading promotions TAB thought they were going to achieve by paying out early on Zaaki in the Cox Plate a fortnight ago, other than to make themselves look like fools? Will the shareholders sue them for all the dough they paid out […]
