Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We told you last month about a trainer having been stood down for inappropriately touching a young female jockey as she was being legged up aboard the horse she was riding for him at a country QLD meeting. Inappropriate is not actually the right word to describe the trainer’s outrageous actions – it was an […]
The Gold Coast Turf Club is telling the world that it’s problematic new track has been poisoned. Is it true? If so, whodunnit? And how, and why? What would be the motivation for some miscreant to sneak out on to the Bundall track – presumably in the wee hours, under the cover of darkness – […]
Alexa Well so much for Leap To Fame going to Tamworth to race in the Carnival of Cups (COC). It made for a great headline, and sent a shiver down connections of the million dollar bonus chasing Swayzee’s spine, but judging by what Kevin Seymour told Adman Hamilton earlier in the week (see below), it […]
Archie Re the number of recent deaths on Queensland tracks. It is actually 5. And until stewards do something about peptide use the numbers will increase. Pain is a good indication there is an issue. Gutless pathetic trainers chasing dollars just push on!~! The drugs, the drugs. It’s always the damned drugs. Kevin from Kangaroo […]
Deaths on track of harness racehorses are rare, extremely rare, with the sport having the lowest race day mortality statistics of any of the three codes. That’s why the death on-track of any pacer demands a closer inspection. Grubscrew was neither very well named or a very good horse. He only won 2 races, a […]
Good morning Archie I have been watching with interest at what is unfolding in the greyhound industry both here & afar.

Now is probably not the time for the NSW greyhound industry to be attracting bad news, for its got enough of its own, what with an Inquiry on the go, the former CEO a certainty to be referred to police with a recommendation to charge, and the dogs across the ditch on death row waiting […]
Editor’s Note – Larry is Leap to Fame. Moses is Grant Dixon, because if his wife Trista’s driving one that’s got him in a pocket he can part the Red Sea. Clip Clop Kev is Mr Kevin Seymour AM, benevolent savior of Globe Derby at 15% compounding interest. Clip Clop owns Larry, who is trained […]
Lozen was only just turned four-year-old when she lost her life in the twilight at Clifford Park on Saturday afternoon. Well I say lost, but really it was taken from her by the on-course vets, who made the ‘humane’ decision to euthanize the mare in preference to attempting to operate on the mare as Namazu’s […]
Blake Shinn is not an executive member of the Victoria Jockeys Association, but as he showed by issuing the media release pictured at the top of this story, he is a leader of men. Everyone knows that the jockeys should be paid for riding in jump outs, it’s simple common sense, even if Ciaron Maher […]
