Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If your boots are made for walking you hire Nancy Sinatra to come and sing at your party. But if you want Nothing But The Best you get Frank. It’s a bit like Leap To Fame against Kingman. The latter is very bloody good. But the former is better. Damian Sheales is Kingman. James E […]
In 2023 the land and buildings at Callaghan Park were worth $3.7 million. Or at least that’s what the Rocky Jockey Club said anyway. Now days they say its worth $6.8 million. I didn’t know that the value of land in the beef capital had doubled in two years, did you? Somehow I doubt that […]
Nobody heard him, the dead man, But still he lay moaning: I was much further out than you thought And not waving but drowning. Poor chap, he always loved larking And now he’s dead It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way, They said. Oh, no no no, it was too cold […]
Sucked into the vacuum of the Susan Ley led Liberal-National coalition train wreck, and devoid of news due to Anthony Albanese’s bland stand for nothing PM ship, the mainstream media has fallen into the trap of believing the bullshit midstream election polls and – devoid of anything else to write about – are declaring Barnaby […]
If I were you I wouldn’t believe a word about what Clive Palmer says about his involvement with the Trump camp in the 2019 Federal Election, at least not beyond the semantics of Palmer’s claims spoken in accordance with his mega high-priced legal advice.

Are they right, or are the critics? I dunno. I’m not sure the club’s auditors do either. Their opinion is somewhat guarded. And they […]
Maggie is not a punter. But her tips are good for anyone who is. Wisdom comes from weird places. Smart people take it. It’s why I smile in my sleep.
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!” Matthew 27:24 The now dead Ponzi scamming pillar of society John Adams would have loved this biblical quote, […]
My apologies, Kingman was on the burning truck. Thank goodness he and the others ended up okay. Good on you Cracker, and all those who helped. You saved the day. And the horses. Sorry about your truck. Glad you’re okay too Nathan. Even if you are a very ordinary shunt who tried to get me […]
I was fortunate enough to be on track at Cranbourne to see the current greats of harness racing. It was certainly not without drama pre the big three races. Archie was first in the media to tell all about Nathan Jack burning down the road with millions of dollars of horseflesh under his care. I’m […]
