Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Ricky Vale back in his bodybuilding days, showing off his muscles Can you remember ever seeing a horse in the modern age attempt to carry 70.5 to victory in a feature flat race like Ricky Vale’s great provincial galloper Namazu will in the Tattersells Gold Cup at Rockhampton this afternoon? Both Greg from the Gold […]
Just six weeks after jockey Scott Sheargold had his license suspended for a fortnight after he stuffed owners and trainers around for the 2nd time in 8 weeks by accepting dual engagements for mounts, and despite his having claimed that he had implemented changes to his booking procedures to make sure it would never happen […]
As hard as this may be to believe, the horse pictured – the team Yole trained 11yo Hez Razor Sharp – last raced only 16 days ago at a meeting in Launceston. It was his 299th race start, and to no-one’s surprise given the condition that the horse is in, it finished 2nd last in […]
Congratulations to apprentice Julie Busuttin, who rode her first winner as a professional jockey yesterday at Gatton, after just a month in the saddle. What a great thrill it must be for the kid and her parents, and how fitting it is that her first winner was for the great trainer Pat Duff who has […]
Some matter of weeks after we announced his appointment, the QRIC have finally seen fit to confirm what readers of peterprofit.com already new. Malcolm Letts is the new Acting Commissioner of the Racing Integrity Commission. Told you so didn’t we. Let’s just hope the job comes with a street map, so Mal can find his […]
Strike me pink. What an absolute garbage report this Stewards finding is. Carl Spry never attempted to put the horse into the race. A wide open run that you could have sailed an ocean liner through opened right in front of him down the running. Spry didn’t take it. He didn’t take any runs, or […]
Have you ever heard of the rule that requires a reinsperson to drive their horse on its merits, giving it every reasonable chance to win or finish its best possible place in a race? David Moran the driver of Roryville – the horse on the extreme outside in the blue and white – obviously hasn’t. […]
If you backed the short-priced favorite Fleetwood in race 8 at Caulfield this afternoon you have a right to be very, very upset, particularly after watching this and seeing why you missed the kick. Was this an accident on the part of the barrier attendant? Or was it something a whole lot worse? I don’t […]
Take a look at this ride by Carl Spry here on the $1.80 favorite Excite Choo will you? It’s the horse drawn the inside barrier with the purple silks, white star and blue cap. You can’t seriously try to tell me that Spry was trying to do anything other than get his mount beaten. The […]
There has been a dramatic change to the HRNSW position that we reported on Friday morning in relation to status of the Goozdolphin Racing owned horses. At that stage the advice received by Aaron Goadsby’s lawyers and accurately reported on this site was that HRNSW Stewards would allow the subject horses to continue racing. By […]
