Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Trevor Craddock, pictured right with the Mouseketeers Harness Racing Victoria is saddened by the passing of former Chairman Trevor Craddock.

The outgoing Chairman of Racing Victoria and his guileless CEO blame all of racing in the State’s problems on a decline in wagering turnover across the industry. It’s bullshit, and a callow cop out. Sure, Victorian racing’s wagering revenue decreased by almost $3o million. But NSW’s went up by around $21 million. That’s a swing […]
Someone sent me this photo of a former controversial NSW trot trainer/driver, and the tip about who he looks like. If this bloke and the famous TV chef Iain ‘Huey’ Hewitson aren’t one and the same person, then they must be twins. Their likeness is uncanny. Dopplegangers I think they call it. I’m told they […]

These were experienced and loyal people. Apparently the cost was around $300k a year. The solution to a problem that […]
Poor old Only Fans subscribers pay money to look at this. The desperate suckers. Oh how the mighty have fallen. I’m glad Chynna’s not my daughter. Apparently there is a video to follow for people who pay. No thanks. I’d rather throw my 2o on a horse, and look at Maggie’s boobs. They’re half a […]
Harry Ovens was backed as if unbeatable in the 3rd race at Globe Derby tonight. When old Jakes Sportwriter went to the front and planted Harry stranded on his back the plunge looked lost. And then this happened. Did the junior driver Declan Whelan simply stuff up by making a mistake? Probably. But gee it […]
