Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Hi Archie, I remember going to the Mingela races in the early 70’s. The two-up game started after the last race. When the pool built up to a sizeable the two coppers from Charters Towers who were there for the day walked through and scooped it all up. Queensland being what it was back then, […]
The picture you see is the Victorian coppers breaking up the two-up ring after the last at the ‘Bool today. What next? Are they gunna stop Australians marching down the street on Anzac Day? Put a halt to punting at the Melbourne Cup? Ban people from drinking beer at the Boxing Day test? Where does […]
For those of you that castigate amateur harness racing and continually complain about it, you’re all wrong. Form Cornelius Kingsley Garrison Billings of yesteryear to the gentlemen and ladies that participate this very day, amateur racing has done wonders for our sport…and countless charitable organizations here in the U.S.A., as well. First off, many of […]
A Queensland podiatrist who accessed child exploitation material, which included a baby, more than 2200 times and admitted to rape fantasies has been disqualified from applying to be a health practitioner for four years. Tyson Bryan-Anthony Franklin, 28, was in October 2018 found to have accessed child exploitation material on 2211 occasions. QCAT disqualified Franklin […]
As country racing has kicked off in western Queensland in recent weeks, momentum is building for a “jockey school” – or mentoring program – to recruit more jockeys and track staff to offset crippling shortages. Amid claims that the North-West had only five or six locally-based jockeys for the 2023 season, which prompted scratched horses […]

Is that a big bad sail sticking up there? Matches the message I guess. There are 10 000 people inside the gates of Warrnambool having a ball of a time on the fang, punt and piss. Standing outside are 10 middle-aged people being uptight, sipping Kobucha water, and telling them that they are bums. Anyone […]

The word out of northern NSW is that a third slot in the Protostar has been filled, even though Racing Queensland are yet to announce it. Apparently the slot runner is a Group 1 winner from NSW, circa the Bathurst region. They say it’s filly, and a real good one too. Four from four and […]
Bailey Wheeler’s riding just goes from bad to worse. He is on the horse in the Heathcote colours here displayed at the top. It’s the $1.75 favorite to win the race, but has been laid heavily on Betfair. Remember what I told you the other day about riders being paid by someone unidentified to get […]
