Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Those who knock Peter V’Landys are imbeciles in my opinion, and I mean that with the greatest of respect. Just look at what he has done here. The price of fuel is going through the roof, trainers can’t sleep at night worried that they are f**ked, owners are thinking to themselves “Sh*t, how am I […]
Well, well, well. It appears from this latest release that the mail we got from Cambridge may have been wrong.

One of our readers tried to have $5.00 on a horse at Albany tomorrow @$9.00 with Bet365, one of the world’s largest bookmakers. They cut his bet back to $1.00. You’d have to be kidding wouldn’t you? In WA bookmakers have to bet a punter to lose $1000 on provincial thoroughbred meetings, but sadly for […]
