Shayne Cramp trained six of the seven winners at Mildura that fateful night in November, all of them no doubt filled to the eyeballs with juice, but it’s the 7th one that he didn’t drive himself that is of interest, for I suspect he fixed that one too. The second suspect race was race no […]
Almost 10 years after the Cramp race fix occurred the great unsolved question about the whole thing remains exactly that, unsolved. How did Gary Hall Jr get out of the whole thing unscathed?

Today’s TAB race meeting at Mt Isa has to be in danger, with temperatures in the town predicted to soar to a fry eggs on the driveway 41 degrees in the middle of the day. Racing QLD regard 38 degrees as extreme temperature, and its heat policy decrees that consideration of abandoning or modifying a […]
Graham Rogerson has had a spate of bad luck with his gallopers recently, the most notable disappointment being the scratching of his NZ Horse of the Year Sharp ‘N’ Smart from his engagements in Melbourne during the Spring, but he’s certainly making up for the bad run by having a great one at the trots, […]

It ran last and was beaten almost 14 lengths at Scone, and finished 2nd last beaten nearly 13 lengths at the Hawkes.
