Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Jockey Melissa Campbell was badly injured in a fall at Innisfail last December when her mount Ancient Style collapsed under her, and she and hasn’t ridden in a race since. One would have expected an inquiry into the reasons for Ancient Style’s collapse and Campbell’s corresponding fall would have been conducted as a matter of […]
What the hell is going on with the new Q2 greyhound track at Purga? Last nights big Flying Amy Classic heat night had to be called off after just three race because of water pooling on the track. The track surface is sand. Do you ever see water pooling on the beach? No, because sand […]
Look at the crowdts at Menangle last night. Can’t see them? That’s cos there was no-one there. Racing out in the boonies is great for the sport isn’t it? Just ask the good burghers of Menangle and Melton.
You’d have to question the intelligence of some jockeys given their rides yesterday. In Brisbane it was obvious that you had to be in the middle of the track down the straight to win. So what do some riders do? Stay near the rail and try to slip up the inside. Morons. It was the […]
We felt the track was safe but it was the visibility and the kickback which ultimately resulted in the remainder of the card being cancelled – QLD Chief Steward Josh Adams Somewhat bizarrely given what appeared obvious to all, the Stewards wanted the riders to race on at Eagle Farm yesterday, claiming that the track […]
Questions are being asked by everybody about the driving tactics of reinswomen Maddison Brown on Relatively Arma in the Westbred 4&5YO Mares race at Gloucester Park on Friday night. Everybody except of course the Koala loving Stewards. The issue relates to Brown’s refusal to hand up the lead on the $10.00 shot Relatively Arma early […]
Another drive that raised questions was that of Grant Dixon aboard the favorite Fire and Passion in the $50 000 2yo Breeders Final at Albion Park. Dixon had two chances in the race, his other being the $6.00 third favorite Fight For Victory driven by his wife Trista, which was seemingly disadvantaged by the back […]
The circus came to Bowen yesterday. First upon arrival at the track it was discovered that someone forgot to turn the sprinkler off overnight and there was a wet patch on the track extending out about 5m from the rail at near the 1050m mark. Stewards and riders walked the affected part of the track […]
The Amused group now has 8 different bookmaker brands. Why? How many more do they need? From inside source, if BOB SMITH has an account with one of their brands and wins $5k and withdraws it, straight away they will receive an offer from another Amused brand to get the money back, so therefore they […]
The most inane race series in Christendom concluded at Redcliffe last night. I speak of course of the Trot Rods. Two men and their dog made up the madding crowd. The drone shots made us dizzy, helmet cam gave us a view up horses asses, and the screen was cluttered with so much crap that […]
