Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Bubba Tilley returned to his hometown of Roma today and lifted the biggest race of the year. Wasn’t he happy about it too. He will get a fine for sure, but who cares? Not Bubba the Lair, that’s for sure. He’s won the Cup And good on him too.
It looks like Payne Haas agrees with PVL about R360 being a competition out of a cornflakes box. Superman don’t eat cornflakes. Haas is staying at home. V’Landys breathes a sigh of relief. https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/payne-haas-tells-nrl-associate-he-plans-to-stay-at-brisbane-broncos-amid-r360-fears/news-story/36c316f2c905e3829267fa3ccd0bed49
By John Lingard https://letsgohorseracing.com.au/ WE finish today’s offering with some sad news, relayed via our good mate, former bookie extraordinaire, Gary Gorrie, now living the high life in Phuket. Gary wants a legion of friends to know that a legend of harness racing in North Queensland – John ‘Ginger’ Manzelmann – has passed away. Gary […]
The NSW Trainers Association have been very vocal in its opposition to Peter V’Landys, and was last week reported to be threatening to pass a no confidence motion in V’Landys as Racing NSW CEO. Which begs the question. Who and what exactly is the NSW Trainer’s Association (NSWTA), and what rights to they have under […]

And don’t think it has purely been the expertise of Peter Moody-Katherine Coleman that has solely paved […]

Oh dear. Lacey’s lucky day has turned to disaster. Yesterday the Stewards Report for race 4 at Cairns made no mention about Lacey Morrison’s excessive whip use. Now, presumably after reading the unofficial Stewards Report – our story – and having seen the incontrovertible proof of jockey Morrison’s whip rule breach, the Stewards Report has […]

The long, slender bodies of the greyhounds bolt out in pursuit of the taunting, mechanical […]
Harness Racing Victoria talks a lot about its HERO rehoming program, but tells us very little. How many retired pacers and trotters a year does HERO rehome? Who knows? The annual report of HRV doesn’t tell us, and neither does either their own website thetrots.com.au or the HERO website hrvhero.com.au. All we know is that […]
Time To Turn wasn’t a very good racehorse. In fact it is fair to say that he was a rather poor one. 37 starts without a win and failures at its past four starts at Eidsvold, Burrandowan, Gayndah and Kumbia tell you the story. Now how slow he was though, Time To Turn didn’t deserve […]
