It Was a Big Night Out at Menangle
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.
Bloody Jockeys
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 […]
Safe My Ass
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 […]
Team Drive 1 – Maddison Brown for Her Partner Gary Hall Jr
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 […]
Team Drive 2 – Grant Dixon For His Wife Trista
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 Comes to Town
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 […]
Gerry is Not Amused
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 […]
Ain’t the Trot Rods and the QRIC Grand
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 […]
How the Callow-KWT Blow Up Exploded
This is the race that sparked the blow up between Kyle Wilson-Taylor and Noel Callow. We are told by someone who was there that the fuse had been burning for a while – we don’t know why – and that there had been bad blood between the pair with words exchanged throughout the day, mainly […]
The Cheating Irish Bastard Should Be Banned For Life
Check this out. The rider of the horse in front in the green and white jumps off upon landing after the 2nd last. Philip Byrnes is the blokes name. What he has done is as clear as day. The Stewards didn’t think so. They said nothing to report. After publication of the photo at the […]
