Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
How good are Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott going right now? Superb is the answer. They absolutely dominated yesterday at Randwick, with wins in a Listed, a Group 3 and two Group 1, taking home about $2 million in earnings for their connections. If that wasn’t impressive enough, in the 2yo races – which are […]
There are rumours swirling Victoria that a leading harness racing trainer from the north of the state may soon be in the news for a positive swab that might cause him a few problems. The trainer, a multiple Group 1 winner, is said to have thrown the positive with one of his horses to Levamisole, […]
How the hell can you go around perpetrating totally unnecessary violence on a horse – brutality even – on a horse and only get a $1000 fine for it? As you will remember Central QLD trainer Tim Cook did this above to a horse a few months ago. “Whack!” a backhander to the head. The […]
Punters aren’t allowed to bet on credit with online bookies, so why is Betr able to pay to pay on tick? That’s the question everyone is asking after the struggling bookmaker announced yesterday that it would not be paying out on winning bets in it’s 100-1 footy promotions until almost a week after the Grand […]
The big question on everyone’s lips at the moment is whether trainer Andy Gath will come to Queensland to chase a golden ticket entry into ID23 after his horse Outlaw Man smashed Captain Ravishing’s 2180m track record last night at Kilmore in the 7-Eleven Cup. Gath would surely have to be tempted after the 5YO […]
As predicted, Copy That won’t be coming to Brisbane after his connections yesterday scratched him from the ID23 series, leaving Simply Sam as the only Kiwi trained rep left in the once great trans-Tasman battle. Unless it can produce a miracle by winning a Group 1 at home over the next 8 weeks that horse […]
If anyone other than driver Michael Stanley can work out what he was thinking with his drive on Rock N Roll Doo in the Kilmore Cup then they are the next Sigmund Freud, for it was nothing but crazy. Stanley was driving the horse that many rate as the best stayer in Australia, so why […]
It was only a week or so ago that I was chatting to a mate down Melbourne way and he told me about this greyhound that his mate’s wife had bought f0r 2 grand named MacKenna, who was going to win the Million Dollar Chase at Wentworth Park, the richest greyhound race in the world. […]
About 3 months ago I sent the Harness Racing NSW Integrity Manager Michael Prentice the complaint reproduced below about the central west Chairman of Stewards, one Michael Jasprizza. It was never responded to or properly addressed. Although we made no direct complaint about M. Jasprizza’s actions in the district, it should have been obvious to […]
At the start of this month we exclusively broke the story below about the mare Carla’s Pixel being sold online to US interests for $300 000, allegedly in foal to Captain Treacherous. We said allegedly, because our mail was that the mare – whose first foal by the Captain recently sold for $270 000 – […]
