Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I reckon QLD trainer Cory Geran and his stablemate Cameron Creevey must have been kissed by a fairy. Either that or the QRIC Stewards are very lax. How else can you explain the pair being caught drinking grog in the race day tie up stalls during a meeting and escaping with just a simple reminder […]
The Group 2 James Brennan Memorial for open class pacers at Gloucester Park on Friday night attracted a full field of 12, making it the first FFA race with more than half a dozen runners for months. Before you get too excited about the sudden upsurge in interest in racing at the top level in […]

Where do you start about Grant ‘Moses’ Dixon’s drive last night in the Victoria Cup? During the week Dixon was openly admitting that in three seasons of racing, he had never taught Leap To Fame how to develop or use his gate speed. How Bizarre t was an astonishing confession, one that was incomprehensible to […]
Some imbecile has decided to pretend to be this author by setting up a Twitter account under my former name. They have then proceeded to post a mountain of crap pretending that it is me talking or tweeting, and quite deliberately published material that that attempts to paint me in a very poor light. On […]

Not sure what your thoughts are, but I think today is currently Australia’s best day of racing on the calendar Kosciuszko Silver Eagle Everest King Charles Herbert Power Might & Power Caulfield Guineas Toorak and finally racing returns to Ascot after the winter break.. Does it get any better than this ? Sir Charles […]
