Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
Former Hall of Fame greyhound trainer Ron Ball has lost his appeal against the QRIC’s refusal to relicense him after serving a 10-year disqualification for using an animal for a purpose connected with greyhound racing in a manner which is improper, such action commonly referred to as live baiting.

The Melbourne Racing Club (MRC), owner of the Caulfield, Sandown and Mornington race clubs, has reported an alarming annual loss of $17.3 million for the 2024/25 financial year.

The NSW Greyhound Welfare Integrity Commission has disqualified self-professed patched member of the Finks outlaw motorcycle gang and greyhound trainer Nathan Lazarus for 24 months for breaching the terms of a prohibition preventing him from entering any property where racing dogs are kept or trained.

I know there was probably nothing in it, and that she can’t help who she is related to or that her horse is a hard pulling mutt, but if you didn’t know these things like a lot of punters don’t, then gee Dannielle McMullen’s drive on the favorite Im Boo in race 5 at Albion […]
Fate Awaits started $1.35 from gate 1 in the tenth race at Albion Park last night. He got beaten. I blame Grant Dixon for that. Dixon drove the fave out hard from gate 2 with an average beginner inside it, but Final Deadline from out in the deep began faster, and one Fate Awaits reached […]
Australian race fans will well remember the win of Belle Du Jour in the 2000 Golden Slipper, when the Clarry Conners trained filly missed the start by 3 lengths and then rider Lenny Beasley picked a checkered path through the field to storm home over the top of them late to take the prize. It […]
The Ryan Hryhorec trained seven-year-old pacer Lord Zarias didn’t just break the 2530m track record at Port Pirie last night, he smashed it into smithereens. The previous mark over the staying trip was 1.58.4 Lord Zarias ran 1.56.7. That’s about 20 meters faster. Driver Gaita Pullicino reeled off splits of 29.2, 29.7. 27.4 and 29.1 […]
