How Embarrassment Monty!
Um, does the Victorian chief steward Rob Montgomery ever proof read his team’s reports from race meetings? Particularly on big days?

How to Get a $1.30 Favourite Beaten By Falling Asleep and Giving it Away- G Hall Jr Style
A mate of mine claims that Gary Hall Jr is the greatest driver in Australia. I think he’s mad. Great drivers don’t fall asleep on $1.30 shots and get them beaten through inattention like Hall did on the hotshot Star Lavra in the WA Country Derby yesterday. Fast forward it to where they enter the […]
Where’s Scrivo?
Why has former champion jockey Shane Scriven suddenly disappeared from the ranks of the training department at Racing Queensland? Is Scrivo really on voluntary leave as some people say? Or has he been forced to take it? If so, why? These are the presently unexplained mysteries of life. But not for long. Watch this space.

The worst kept secret in Hong Kong is a secret no more, after English hoop Harry Bentley yesterday had his license suspended for 2 months and copped a fine of AU $60 000 after being found guilty of improper conduct for tipping horses to people who weren’t their owners, meaning that he was most likely […]
