Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Luke McCarthy was put out for 7 days for causing interference to Crusader Miss and knocking her out of Gold Tiara contention via his drive on Kima. Kima’s the one coming around three-wide, Crusader Miss is the horse pushing one-off the fence as he comes. Did Luke cause the interference or not? It’s difficult without […]
There is a reason that several welts were dicovered on the rump of the pacer Family Tree after the completion of race 6 at Wagga on Tuesday the 7th of July. That reason is that the horse’s trainer/driver took it back to the stables after it had galloped at the start and taken no competitive […]
So will you. Thanks for your well wishes during my illness. It’s much appreciated. I just wonder who will get there first. The one who wears the glass pipe jockey’s silks I guess sunshine. It ain’t me.
News is legend” a little slow sometimes up here and it has taken longer than it should have to filter through of the passing of Laurie Buik late last month. People forget quickly but for 18 months Buik’s small team was the envy of every trainer in the country. His draft of racehorses in the […]

Before Leap to Fame came along you’d probably say well they had Blake’s a Fake. Yes they did, and he was dominant for his time in the sun. This horse was at the top […]
There were six races at Port Pirie. The winners of only two of them were post race swabbed after their victories. Those two winners swabbed were trained by Ryan Hryhorec (1) and Leah Holman (1). None of Aaron Bain’s three winners was asked to give a post-race sample. That’s a bit of a worry, for […]
The word out of Ascot, QLD this week is that at least one trainer who is walking around sporting cracked ribs and a busted eye believes that Eagle Farm was the scene of crime perpetrated on him last week by a former owner and one time bestie with whom the trainer had recently had an […]
BY John Lingard PUNTERS will be pleased to hear that Tommy Berry wasn’t disappointed with the plain effort of HUETOR in the G2 Hollindale Cup at the Sunshine Coast last Saturday. There wasn’t much else he could say after giving it no hope dropping back to last from a wide draw. He was quick to […]
