Once you’ve stared evil in the face, there is no turning back The walls close in around you Those walls of terror. – Irvine Welsh In these terrible times or terror and evil, where innocent little kids are being murdered en masse by rockets fired by faceless men from far away, the universe has sent […]
Take a l00k at this race above. Protest 2nd v 1st upheld. Now look at it again in super slow-mo. It looks to me like the driver of the horse on the outside was the one who drove his wheel up inside the leader, not the other way around. If I am right the protest […]
What is going on with the prizemoney for feature races at Menangle. It seems that it is all just TBC. To be confirmed. That’s a great way for a trainer to plan their horse’s prep isn’t it? We might go to Menangle and we might not. It all depends on what HRNSW are going to […]

Mr Y punted with Picklebet. God only knows why, but he did. Y was winning on his account, and sometime before Xmas 2024 he won again. On the 11th of December in that year he tried to withdraw $12 500 from his account, the balance of which at the time was $12 615.26. Picklebet wouldn’t […]
Now to be very clear, if a little folksy, I am writing what follow from a position of ignorance, but informed by what is in the Stewards report, and added to by what experience gained from a life spent on the track tells me must almost certainly have happened. But to be very clear it’s […]
