Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Broadcaster Ray Hadley has made explosive allegations that horses slaughtered at a remote NSW property, which also rehomed hundreds of wild brumbies, were sold to greyhound trainers as dog food. In April, more than 500 butchered horse carcasses were discovered at the Wagga Wagga property owned by horse trader Adrian Talbot, the brother of the […]
You’d have to suspect that former greyhound trainer Laurie Rounds has more than a few problems dealing with authority. Last year Rounds went ballistic when a pre-entry inspection of one of his dogs he wanted to put into the Gap program was cancelled due to concerns abut the greyhound’s vaccination status, and threatened to shoot […]
Well that didn’t take long did it? I wonder how Dame Nellie Cobbler found out that you can only have 5 horses in a parlay on the TAB? Ha ha ha. Warning! Warning! Problem gambler.
There is only one word to describe yesterday’s NZB Standardbred National Weanling Sale. Disaster. The arse fell out of the market. When you exclude the top priced lot and the other yealing in the draft, average weanling prices dropped by over 20%, from $11 495 down to $9191. That’s barely worth the price of a […]
Listen to Chris Barsby’s call here in the 8th at Albion Park on Tuesday. Are callers allowed to give drivers the heads up like this? I very much doubt it. But I am sure the driver says thanks.
What do you think of this strange drive down the straight by Paul Nairn on the horse outside the leader? I reckon it was a wee bit red hot. Why was he looking around so much when he had a lapful of horse that he never let go? Why didn’t he let it go? The […]
When astute New South Wales harness racing trainer Keith McDeed decided to give the sport away about 20 years ago, he didn’t think for one minute that he’d be back. “I sold up everything and really believed that was it. I’d broken about 10 or 11 bones over the years and was feeling a few […]
Daniel Aurisch was once the rising star of the Queensland stewarding ranks and was widely tipped to one day become the Chief. Then he hit some health problems that caused him to drop out of front runnning contention and, alongside other reasons relating to an internal management pro-Josh Adams team, saw him miss out on […]
There was a stack of money for the winner of the 4th race at Ipswich yesterday Majestic Boom, and the smarties who backed the promising 4yo from 3.90 into 2.15 landed the cash. Punters who backed the unplaced 2nd favorite Devastating didn’t have so much luck. A number of them were wondering after the race […]
You might remember Nick ‘the Cobbler’ Cataldi, the humble shoe repair from Sydney living in the back of his shop whose world turned around when he fluked a long priced multi one Sunday afternoon at a provincial gallops meeting in Albany, WA that landed him a return of almost $700 000, which bought the Cobbler […]
