Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Eight QRIC Stewards trekked up to Birdsville on the weekend for the Cup meeting, including it appears the Chief Steward Josh Adams. It was a totally unnecessary show of force designed to alleviate the QRIC’s embarrassment about the fact that this website uncovered the jigger scandal before last year’s big race and the QRIC didn’t, […]
Rock N Roll Doo was always touted as a world beater when he was young, but from up here in Far North QLD it was hard to see it. Then he came out and ran 1.50.6 in the Caduceus Classic, won the Kilmore Cup, and then blitzed them in the Vic Cup in time just […]
Mark J0nes, a long time ago before he tangled with the author, back when he was training winners We haven’t heard boo from Kiwi trainer Mark Jones since he got his bum lawyer to threaten us with a defamation suit. He’s hardly trained a winner since we had a crack at him either. Funny that. […]
Wasn’t it great to see people back at the trots? I don’t think that there was anywhere near the 10 000 claimed, but there were certainly enough to make it a great night out. Imagine how much bigger it could have been if they’d promoted it properly. What an incredible run from the death by […]
Hello Archie, So here we are and the finalists are in. Who are you keen on? Here is my summation of things as they stand. Penrith – best team in the last 5 years even with a 5/8th gone for the year. Brisbane – flying with the best backline in the comp. Melbourne – best […]

They (my stable runners) only race in big races. I only train horses that are high calibre. And I only race in big races in Sydney. That’s what Jason Grimson told the Racing Appeals Panel on Friday. It’s close, but it’s not quite true. A week ago Thee Old Bomb trained by Grimson won an […]
For years U have been saying that while Grant Dixon is a superb trainer, but that he isn’t a big race drivers arse. That showed in the the Auckland 2019 ID series when the Kiwis kicked his arse, and it showed again last night in the Eureka, although this time his beating was self-inflicted. Dixon […]
I went to high school with the later lawyer Julian Wagner. We were in the same class. So was Paul Zimmerman, now a senior Steward at the QRIC. Julian was a great bloke. I never knew knew a person who ever said a bad word about him, and there was no reason to either. He […]
Well we picked Olentia as the lay of the day yesterday and it got beat, but the one we picked to win got beat too so we can hardly call it a success. You wouldn’t call Kerrin Mcevoy’s ride on the beaten favourite a success either. Far from it in fact. That ride was a […]
