Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Father Wayne, Maggie’s Catholic priest mate from when they were young who is staying with us for a few weeks, and although we are a bit different – he says Grace, and Jeff Buckley and I sing it (I know all the lyrics because it was Archie n Maggie’s shag song when we first met) […]
Mr Robert Garrett – Inquiry Conducted Harness Racing New South Wales (HRNSW) Stewards conducted an Inquiry today into a report received from the Australian Racing Forensic Laboratory (ARFL) that Methylamphetamine was detected in the post-race urine sample taken from KALKADOON DREAMING following its win in race 4, the NUTRIEN EQUINE BATHURST SALE 22ND MARCH PACE […]
I am not saying for a second that that trainer Robert Garrett is guilty of anything other than bad luck and living such a straight life that he can’t spot a glass pipe jockey when one is staring him in the face. But gee doesn’t the decision in his meth positive case open up the […]
Ever since the Stewards raid that we told you about on SA trainer Kevin Weidenbach’s place, poor Kev’s wheels have gone wobbly. It’s weird.

Life is not fair is it? At least for some. You’d be feeling wistful if you looked as old as I do, and were about to be double penetrated by a dictor too. Don’t you worry about that. Gee it’s good to be alive though. Ask anyone who isn’t. They will tell you.
All I want to do tomorrow is punt on the races at Doomben. Instead I am going to be drugged out of my brain and have one tube stuck up my arse and another down my throat. Some might call it a Mardi Gras delight. Me I call it a colonoscopy and a gastroscopy. F**k […]
