Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Carisbrook trot trainer Paul Watson may not be thinking it right now, but he must have been kissed by a fairy. In late December 2022 one of Watson’s horses threw a positive swab to Cobalt after winning a race at Maryborough, and then the next month the Stewards performed a surprise visit at Watson’s stable […]
The QRIC review has been going for around a month, and it’s only on Wednesday that Botra send out information about it to its members. What they sent wasn’t a progress update. It was the Terms of Reference, for an inquiry that’s already off and away. BOTRA President Darren Garrard invited and urged industry members […]
There were 14 gallops races with an odds-on favorite in them run around Australia on Thursday, from Ipswich to King Island, with Goulburn, Hamilton and Pakenham in between. 10 of the 14 that started in the ketchup went down.

I realize that a lot of dog folk have never been to university or past junior school, and that some through no fault of their own some are illiterate, so let me spell out what this part of the GRV plan means, and if you can’t read it get someone to read it out loud […]
Don’t believe a word of what you’re being told by GRV about it’s plan to make greyhound racing safer my moving all the races to one-turn tracks. It’s all just a smokescreen for the real plan. That secret plan is to force the Sandown and Meadows clubs to sell their tracks and the land they […]
Traditional two-turn greyhound racing at Sandown Park and The Meadows could well become a thing of the past following the release of Greyhound Racing Victoria’s (GRV) Infrastructure Discussion Paper on Wednesday.
