Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The somewhat disturbing mail is that Sky Channel are refusing to take Josh Fleming’s on-course calls from Birdsville this year, and will instead have the Cup and other races over the carnival called remotely from the studio. Why Sky are being so petty is a total mystery to us, for Josh is one of the […]
Fresh off another 6 winners last weekend – including her special at $26 -Australia’s deadliest tipster Dr Georgia Whiting is back with some more winners for us this Saturday. Can the good doctor do it again? She has tipped six winners twice in the past 5 weekends, so why not?
Hi AB The ongoing discussion about integrity highlights the general complacency around ensuring sound systems are in place. Regulators completely ignore the obvious signs of potential manipulation – i.e. incredible changes in a horses performance and abnormal strike rates. Strike rates are interesting – take the thoroughbreds – last year Maher – 14%, Waller 12%, […]
Hi Archie, I read with interest the article from HRNSW Stewards that Scott Hewitt received no penalty for his Levamisole positive swab. In talking to one of the stewards about the case, apparently Scott ran sheep on his property (which he treated with Levamisole) and although the horses and sheep were in separate paddocks, the […]
Here is a picture of Frank Hudson using his time before the first race at the recent Horsham meeting to scour his client list looking for bowlers. A bookie and his money are never parted. And as long as there are are punters out there trying to pick his pocket, Hudson never sleeps.

A Tasmanian racehorse trainer has been fined $2,000 after pleading guilty to animal cruelty for whipping a horse more than 40 times in […]
The unexplained delay in Harness Racing NSW dealing with a positive swab recorded by the Mark Callaghan trained The Cid, the winner of last year’s $100 000 Hunter Regional Champion, is to put it plainly ridiculous. Any horse that throws a positive swab is automatically disqualified from the race in question, regardless of the cause […]
If QLD harness’s half baked idea for a replacement premier venue is an 800m track inside the Toowoomba gallops track then I’m staying where I am or moving to Auckland……. I favour the later…….especially if Alabar’s farm is the new training centre as rumored, right by the Ocean. Belle from Burnie
Don’t you hate it when a short-priced favorite gets caught in a pocket that costs it all chance of winning, while the plunge horse in the race sails on by to victory? There was nothing James McDonald could do to get Cross Tasman out. He was stuck in a zip fastener with no gaps in […]
