Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Military Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle. Try saying that at top pace. It’s one hell of a name for a race. A race that’s somewhat an oddity in itself. Every jockey riding in it is a serving military officer. We’ve got two Majors, a Lieutenant-Commander, a Sargent, and three grunts. […]
Do you remember that Kiwi clown called Mark Jones? It’s okay if you don’t, because he’s not very memorable. Jones is the South Island trainer who threatened to sue us a year or back after we wrote a story featuring him that the poor precious dear didn’t like. He even went so far as to […]
Faith Elliott (pictured at top) is an apprentice jockey coach at Racing Queensland. She is also a trackwork rider licensed by the QLD Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC). Which is all kind of funny in a strange way. Funny hoo hoo, not funny ha ha. You see one aspect of Faith Elliott’s job is to set […]
You don’t have to be a genius to work out what’s happened in the Luke Sayers affair, pardon the pun. The bloke’s on holidays with his wife and kids in Italy. Someone sends a dick pic from his phone with a young female executive of one of the club’s major sponsors tagged in. 13 minutes […]
Everyone’s favorite punter David ‘Baldy’ Frolley sure does get around. We’ve spotted him in recent times at Grafton, Coffs Harbor, Murwillumbah, Ipswich – where he got kicked out for declaring the betting room a sub-standard brothel, before we got him back in (we’re still waiting for our thank you) – and now today he’s bobbed up […]
Original Stewards Report (above), and amendment to report (top) In the wake of our story about the whip battle between C. Meehan and T. Chambers at Rockhampton yesterday the QRIC has updated its official Stewards report to include reference to an inquiry that will be held into the incident. Whilst it remains a mystery how […]
Chris Meehan in sky blue silks and cap, with purple sleeves, Tasha Chambers in the blue with blue and white striped cap Here is the rear view Stewards vision of the incident at Rockhampton that the 5 on-duty stipes didn’t see. Looking at it from this angle you can clearly see C. Meehan and T. […]
Will Rixon drove he and Valley Start into a bit of bother in the 2nd race at Menangle on Tuesday afternoon. Rixon was 3rd the fence when they reached the straight for home, but rather than wait for the gap to appear he decided to make it appear, so he pushed out underneath Sofia Arvidsson […]
Mate I normally agree with pretty much everything you write but not with what you written about Will Rixon. If you see the video and look closely you notice that the wheels jam together tight and that’s because Sofie has a UFO gig which are bad for this happening with and everyone knows this. Instead […]
Tasha Chambers was very, very lucky that the five Stewards on duty at Rockhampton yesterday were seemingly blind, for if they weren’t she would likely have found herself sitting on the sidelines for a while. Fellow jockey Chris Meehan might have been too. Chambers is on the horse in the purple and white with striped […]
