Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What you see above are the terms and conditions as they relate to passed in lots at the APG Yearling Sale. As you can see if a lot gets passed in and the vendor of the unsold yearling wants to sustain it (make it eligible) for the sales race series they have to pay 10% […]
Last Friday jockeys Les Tilley and Graham Kliese were injured in a fall at Cluden Park. Just six days later at the same track the first 3 races on the card were run without an ambulance following the field around. What the hell? Safety first? It seems not.
In Queensland you have to have five acceptors to make a field. Race 1 at Townsville got there. Just. Georgie Holt put three in to make the numbers work. Then after Racing QLD declared it a race she scratched two. No doubt they will have a slight cough, or heat in the joint. The sort […]
It’s important you pay attention to this message right now. Take a moment to chill, breathe, and analyze it thoroughly. ‘Cause we’re about to discuss a deal between you and me, and I don’t play games.

I love Crash Craddock. When I was a teenage kid I worked as a copy boy (fledging journalist) in the Sports Room of what was then Queensland’s Daily Sun. John Hartigan was the Editor, and an abrasive but hugely effective boor named Col Allan was his Chief of Staff. They both went on to become […]

Daniel Moor is a multiple Group 1 winning j0ckey. How many of the Stewards on duty have ever even thrown a leg over a horse? Why did Moor go to the lead? Umm. Because there was no pace in the race, and he was on a weak gutted cat which had won just 3 from […]
Archie, The recent precedent set by RNSW stewards is a bad one. Ceowulf had blood in both nostrils. Scoped it, no blood in its lungs. o stewards by elimination said it must’ve been external trauma (did not attribute what that was though). Then it bleeds from one nostril on weekend. Now a major trainer at […]
Tip to the jelly backed imbecile who rang tonight and threatened to bash and kill me, and rape my wife. There is a bloke that I did time for that you should ask about the wisdom of that approach. It didn’t work for him. Why would it work for you? Hit me harder dickhead. Do […]
Kerry Towers is a NSW trot trainer. In January 2014 her horse threw a positive swab to a substance called Deferoxamine in a post race urine test after winning a race at Menangle. It was the first and to date only positive to the stuff ever recorded in the world. Under the rules of harness […]
