Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Which trio of prominent Kiwi trainers are currently the subject of a police investigation into a serious incident involving a much younger female stable employee? Are charges likely to follow? If so, will Racing NZ follow the lead of HRNZ in relation to the licensee who is set to face trial next month, or will […]
So it was with a healthy portion of schadenfreude that I watched the usual stalwarts march up to donate their hard earned on what turned out to be the thinnest, weakest and most unreliable offerings from the major clubs on the east coast of Australia all year. Seriously, they should be ashamed and should undertake some […]
What percentage of starters on how many racecourses each day, week, month or year arrive behind the barriers with an elevated heart rate and sweating profusely? Not many is the answer, for that usually happens after exertion in a race, not before. SHIPS AHOY turned up at the stalls at Eagle Farm that way on […]
A young married couple are accused of using animals on their south coast property for sexual pleasure and filming the disturbing intimate interactions.

Is it true that Ben Yole’s Victorian stable foreman Robert Walters has been caught on at least a further 2 occasions driving the unregistered and unroadworthy truck of Yole’s whilst unlicensed? We are told that Walters was pulled over following the Wagga meetings last Friday and again Tuesday. This is unconfirmed, but our sources tell […]
Once upon a time the Australia Stakes was a prestigious race that was chased by the trainers of top horses, which is evidenced by an honor roll that includes the likes of Redelva, Schillachi, Hareeba, All Our Mob, El Segundo and Black Caviar (twice) among the winners. In recent years though the Australia Stakes has […]
Surprisingly Burwood Stud haven’t brought a whole lot of quality to the sale, with its 6 lots being predominantly by bargain basement sires. I can’t get enthused about any of them, just as none of Cobbitty Equine Farm’s draft excites me very much. The Vagg family’s drafts often feature foals by bargain basement sires and […]
