Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Much was made of Ka Ying Rising being beaten in its first Australian trial, with some trying to have you believe the walls had fallen in, and the roof and the doors too. It didn’t quite turn out to be that way did it. KYR won the Everest. Overpass who was runner-up in the trial […]
Call me a cynic if you will, but I have a question. Why did Shane Graham take the horse in the blue to the outside of the leader rather than go inside it up the sprint lane? It wouldn’t have been to give the horse three back the fence Bronski Zulu a free passage through […]
Kingman was a good horse when he was with Emma Stewart. He won 7 from 25 while in her stable including a Tasmanian Derby, and he was in and around it in some of the better class races of his age in Melbourne like the VicBred Super Series. But he wasn’t quite there. Kingman’s form […]

You could tell very early on in the Victoria Cup tonight that Leap To Fame wasn’t quite right and might struggle to win. It became apparent when shortly after the start Grant Dixon pushed off the fence and came around three-wide looking for the death. Luke McCarthy on Kingman half-kicked up but he was only […]
A picture tells a thousand words. Some say two to the Valley. Like this one of todays crowd at Randwick says to Peter V’Landys knockers. Have you ever seen so many young people at a race meeting in your life? I’ve been goin to track for half a century and I haven’t, not even at […]

Dr Whiting discusses the form with the famous French punter Marcel Duchamp The Man in Black doesn’t handle Caulfield so we have him aside until the carnival. You’ve got the Nude Tipster Dr Georgia Whiting instead. I know whose tips I prefer. And she doesn’t wear a suit.
