Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
QLD gallops trainer David William Reynolds is no stranger to the courts or the cells, having appeared in both a number of times before. Those appearances and spells inside obviously haven’t worked to cure the trainer of his anti-social behavior however, for here Reynolds is on the Townsville court list yesterday fronting up before the […]
Dan Ballard is best known as the king of the country, a Hall of Fame jockey who at age just 38 has won the bush riders premiership multiple times. He is also a bloke who puts a lot back into the sport through his involvement with the Mt Isa Turf Club over the years as […]
I’ve been going to Albion Park since I was not yet born baby in her belly. I was there on my uncle Bert’s shoulders at the sand gallops track when I was little kid, and I was there on my dad’s shoulders at the trots. My brother and sister and I used to race down […]

It’s all over for the mug unelected QLD Premier Steven Miles, the bobble headed, pumped up marionette of the factional overlords of the left. It always ways really, well before the good doctor of union organising – a craft he’s never performed – ever began in his utterly undeserved role in the big chair running […]
Australian Racing Rule 210(2) relates to a rider failing to weigh in after a race. But Glenda Bell isn’t a jockey. She’s a trainer. So how can the Emerald based Bell appeal a penalty that hasn’t actually been imposed on her? I guess we will find out tomorrow if she can. And here I was […]
Four horses were attributed as being late scratched from the Broken Hill Cup meeting on Friday night. The problem is that Hryhorec only travels pulling a 3 horse float. And that one of the four late scratchings – a pacer named Whodat Boodat – is actually trained by Toby Ryan, who has a runner in […]
2 horses late scratched from a 10 horse field because there was no jockey available to ride them. This is what happens when you program TAB meetings with no more than 8 starters in any race but 1 on the card. Only 8 riders turn up to take mounts. It’s not a real hard conundrum […]
