Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The thing I like about this new Racing QLD CEO Jason Scott is that he fixes things. When problems occur in the hierarchy he doesn’t look to shoot the messenger, he goes straight to correcting the issue. It’s a highly admirable quality. Someone in RQ stuffed up and spelled Jock Gollogly’s name wrong in his […]
“Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk” – Henry David Thoreau This is the full decision of the Victorian Racing Appeals Tribunal in the matter of the Emma Stewart stay. As we told you, the HRV integrity team have stuffed up. Emma might somehow get away with […]
If you ever want to see a set up race watch race 4 at Gloucester Park on Friday night. The two pronounced favourites are the 4 My Ultimate Chevron and the 5 Hoppys Way. Both are easy in the market. The horse drawn 12 Alcopony (pronounced Al Capone Eee) is heavily backed from $15 into […]
Remember Nic Me Some, the horse we told you last week that we reckoned jockey Dale Evans pulled up at Mackay? Well the same horse stepped out at the same track over the same distance today, got backed for a stack and won. Evans didn’t ride it. Funny that. Things aren’t looking real good for […]
As you can see from the official steward’s report above, the QLD stipes dismissed the protest 2nd against 1st in the 4th race at Doomben on Wednesday. They would have to be kidding wouldn’t they? The margin was a long head. The winner was the horse in the purple in the replays below, the runner-up […]
The jury in the Brittany Higgins case cannot come to an agreed decision of whether her colleague Bruce Lehrmann raped her or not. I am not surprised. The only thing that is surprising is that some of the jurors still want to convict him. How the hell could you? There is no way in the […]
As hard as it may be to believe, a punter or punters ripped a quarter of a million dollars out of the TAB and the corporate bookies yesterday in a massive plunge on a dog in a maiden at the obscure greyhound meeting at Capalaba in Queensland. Farmor Relief was the plunge dogs name. It […]
The judge in the Bruce Lehrmann/Brittany Higgins defamation case has come to exactly the same conclusion that we told you two months age before the trial kicked off that he would. They are both liars, and you can’t quite believe a word that either of them say. In an unusual move, the Federal Court judge […]
The catalogue for the NZ Standardbred yearling sales in January is out, and if you are a Group 1 buyer then you can strike out more than half of it before you start. American Ideal – no dude. Bettor’s Wish – as much as you like, but no way. Captain Crunch – he thrown them […]
This sounds hard to believe, but we are told that it’s true. Ash Rushton, who was appointed to the dual (and conflicting) roles of Tasmanian director of racing and general manager of the Office of Racing Integrity (ORI) on Boxing Day, has resigned just a day later. This must be an all time record in […]
