Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Why on earth would the Stewards agree to John Dunn’s request to adjourn their inquiry into interference that he caused to another horse and driver by the careless way that he drove McKendrick? There were no ifs or buts about this one. Dunn clearly came across and took the other horse’s running to his own […]
Pure betting odds are simply an expression of a horse’s probability of winning a race. If the horse’s odds are $2.00, or even money in the old language, then it has a 50% chance of winning the race, just as it has the same 50% chance of not winning it. Bookies odds are slightly different, […]
The great Keith McDeed exploded back into the winners list at Newcastle yesterday, breaking a more than a 2-year drought by winning the prestigious TAB Venue Mode HRNSW Guaranteed 2yo Maiden Pace, a race that in the past has been won by legends of the crushed of the compacted granite dust circuit such as Whatshisname, […]
Zac didn’t drive Mach Shard, Scott Phelan did, but I like the picture and Barry’s in it. It’s not often these days that you see a Grand Circuit standard horse racing free legged without any hopples. In fact it’s an absolute rarity. That didn’t stop master trainer Barry Purdon from keeping the gear off his […]
Archie, We know the story so far. That is Dale Evans was dead as a maggot on Nic Some More at Mackay in Dec 2023. Super Steward Tate Hudson and Cadet Suli charged him with failing to take all reasonable measures on the horse, found him guilty and suspended him for 4 months. The next […]

It wasn’t until around lunchtime today when people with vouchers and fixed odds bets discovered to their absolute horror and amazement their tickets were worth zip. People attempting to cash tickets showed they weren’t a winning ticket, […]
Just when about the whole WA harness industry is coming out of the woodwork and pronouncing trots in the state dead, Gloucester Park pops up with a ten race card tonight with all but one of them having full fields. This is the type of thing that the sport in west needs. Big cards with […]
I wonder how the Racing Minister feels about in the inherent sexism of the Innisfail Jockey Club’s tradies and ladies day? What’s a tradie and who’s a lady, and how do you vet a lady tradie so that they can get in free? Do they have to pull their dacks down to prove that they […]
Everyone’s favorite racing media personality Jason Bonnington has been absent from our screens since being forced to walk the plank from his job with HRV toward the end of last year, and a lot of readers have been inquiring after his health and wondering where he’s been. Well it’s now our great pleasure to be […]
A couple of weeks back we wrote about the amazing later career renaissance of trainer David Waite after he took over the reins from the disqualified Leon Jurd as the trainer for former Club Menangle and HRNSW boss Rex Horne, the real estate with the stand named after him. David Waite’s Golden Run of Success […]
