Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We’ve noticed a number of people posting on social media recently their complains about having placed a ‘winning’ Head to Head bet on a horse race and not being paid. In each case the horse they backed finished well back in the field but beat the horse that they had backed it to beat home. […]
One of the great problems with corporate bookmaker licensing around Australia is that the bookies are allowed by the regulators to apply their own unique scale of deductions in the cases of a late scratching/s. This is unnecessary and unfair to punters – there should be a single national scale of deductions that is mandatory […]

A little noticed rule change was introduced in Victoria in late June that alters the way certain alleged rule breach offences by participants are dealt with by the authorities. Prior to the change the following offences were deemed ‘serious offences’ and were heard and determined directly by the Victorian Racing Tribunal (VRT) as the decision […]
It’s not rare by any means, but seeing pacers break 26 seconds for their final quarter is by no means common either. That’s why it was quite remarkable that so many horses on both sides of the Tasman ran under that time it in the space of just 28 hours on the weekend was so […]

Stood down South Australian harness racing trainer jokes about his green thumb and hydro setups in this interview with Piranha Media’s Rocky Butterworth late last year, before laughing off the rumors of his being involved in drugs by saying ‘give us a spell’. Sadly if you believe what the Victorian Police say, Luke O’Neill was […]
In the middle of a racing review with jungle drums beating out strong rumors that the Government is giving serious consideration to bringing QRIC and Racing QLD back together under one roof is probably not the right time for funding of the integrity regulator to increase by 21.5% or $7 million, but that’s exactly what […]
For the second year in a row the returns from Queensland greyhound racing have markedly outstripped that of the other two codes, with this year’s $54.5 million profit taking the code’s net earnings over the past two years to almost $100 million, a remarkable result given that the sport has total revenues of less than […]
Take a look at the video above of race 4 at Port Pirie on Saturday night and tell me how the hell the driver of the horse that crosses to the lead Ryan Hryhorec escaped a suspension for careless driving. Hryhorec brings his horse across directly on top of the Tony Pullicino driven runner on […]
