Another Young Stonewall Horse Breaks its Leg During a Race
An unenviable number of seemingly healthy young pacers from the Steve and Amanda Telfer stable have broken down on the track in the track in recent years, and another victim was added to the tally yesterday when the 3-year-old Kashkeeper, a $210 000 yearling buy at the 2022 Christchurch yearling sales, broke down in the […]
Observations From Addington on Friday Night
Mark Jones ‘magic’ run with Rush continued when she made it 4 from 5 since joining his stable in the rating 51 up trot. How much time is Jones really spending out at Woodend Beach. Bob Butt spends a lot, because he’s stabled there. His trotting star of the Brisbane winter Bet N Win was […]
Random Thoughts on the First Night Back at Globe Derby

Careless Dan Does it Again
Queensland’s most suspended apprentice jockey Dan McGillivray got done again for careless riding yesterday at Doomben. He’d only been back from his most recent holiday for the same offence for 4 days. This bloke refuses to learn.

A Trick of the Eye Costs a Jockey 2 Weeks
Watch the horse on the inside in the red behind the leader. See what jockey John Rudd does? He sits up early. It costs his mount 4th place. Rudd copped a 14-day suspension. He was a bit stiff I reckon. Watch it again in slow motion. What the hell was that white post doing positioned […]
The Lost Farm
This is Uncle Sam’s manor. Or it used to be, until he lost the farm. Bid with confidence. Motivated seller, needs the cash. Good lawyers don’t come cheap. Especially the silks. Hey it’s only a house. Jesus was born in a barn. The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.
