Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
All I want to do tomorrow is punt on the races at Doomben. Instead I am going to be drugged out of my brain and have one tube stuck up my arse and another down my throat. Some might call it a Mardi Gras delight. Me I call it a colonoscopy and a gastroscopy. F**k […]
My wife is a pretty great painter. She is one hell 0f a woman too. Hot birds. They are the secret to a wonderful life.
Last week we told you the story about how three licensees copped 3 month suspensions for their involvement in accidentally presenting the wrong horse to race at Albion Park, and how the Stewards whose job it was to ensure the right horse was presented didn’t. In QLD the Stewards are Never to Blame – Part […]
See jockey Bailey Wheeler on the horse in the red and white stick his right arm out and push fellow rider Tahlia Fenton back in, just as she was about to come around the grey and take her rightful run to its outside? That wasn’t careless by Wheeler. It was deliberate. Foul riding it was […]
Did you hear the one about the bookies clerk at Saturday’s Muster Cup meeting in Gympie, QLD on the weekend who got caught out by the oldest sharp punter’s trick in the book? “$230 to $20 on the six”, the handsome six foot six tall punter who approached shouted as he handed over his lobster. […]

The great untold story of last year’s QLD Provincial Trainer’s Premiership is how close Mark ‘Boof’ Currie came to winning it, and how far he would have won by had he not broken down four months out from the end of the season. You can see the final results in the picture at the top. […]
Riverina trainer Norm Diebert Snr must have achieved some sort of record as the oldest trainer ever to have a horse throw a positive to cobalt, after the substance above the threshold of 100 micrograms per litre in urine was detected in the urine sample taken from his pacer CHANCETOWIN following its win in race […]
QLD provincial rider Peta Edwards got a bit carried away with the ship in race 6 at the Cairns Amateur meeting on the weekend. She hit her horse 8 times prior to the 100m mark – 5 strikes is the maximum allowed – and 24 times in total, nine strikes above the limit of fifteen. […]
We told you the story last week about how the trotter The Vicars Girl had thrown a positive swab during without notice out of competition testing conducted by Stewards at trainer Kevin Weidenbach’s stables. That matter is yet to be dealt with, presumably because the officials are waiting for a confirmatory second test result, so […]
