Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The leader in this race was the odds on favorite. Trainer Tom Ison had 4 runners in the race. One of them was the horse he drove, the one that used to attack the leader unmercilessly from the death. It finished out the back after doing it’s job and softening the leader up enough toget […]
You wouldn’t have been wanting to have bet in the run in the last race at Ballarat on Sunday, not based on Terry Bailey’s call anyway. He ballsed the whole call up well and truly. It wasn’t Aureate in the white cap that won the race, it was his stable mate Air Defence. Aureate was […]
There is major push on in New Zealand by the so called Animal Welfare groups to shut down greyhound racing. Operating under a joint umbrella coalition, these groups – which includes the SPCA – are making a lot of noise in the press by claiming that the sport is inherently dangerous and cruel, and demanding […]
Prodigal Guiness was a moderately performer winner of 3 races from 18 starts before being purchaed by Australian interests and brought across the ditch, but he was a troupled pacer too, plagued by leg injuries.

There were 4 pups by Fernando Bale out of She’s A Pearl sold at yesterday’s Richmond Puppy Auction. They went for outrageous prices, as follows: $52 000 $45 000 $50 000 $60 000 Or they would have gone for that total of $207 000 if any of them had actually sold. But none of them […]
I was watching the channel 7 coverage of the races on TV on Satuday, and just before the Doomben Cup the comperes Jason ‘Richo’ Richardson and Emma Freedman were interviewing Annabelle Neasham when the National Anthem began to be sung. Instead of stopping and either standing silent or singing along with the anthem, Richardson and […]
Travis Bullock was awarded the Bathurst Junior Driver of the Year Award, and good on him too. But doesn’t it seem a bit strange that a 37-year-old like Bullock can compete for a junior driver’s award in the first place? He is, but the phrase ‘junior’ is misleading, for it should be called the concession […]
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade […]
Watch what happens after the finish of this race in New Zealand. I reckon the club might need a new lure. Or maybe one attached more securely. At least we know some of the other runners chase. You’d never know it watching them race.
