Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Four months ago Frankie was the most ferocious dude in town, every town. Everyone was scared of his legendary speed and strength, which he employed to scorch sub 1.50 miles and crush his rivals into the ground. His powers won him the Bonanza and Chariots of Fire, two of the best 4YO races in the […]
Watch what Grant Dixon does here on Leap To Fame immediately after the starter releases the mobile arm and lets the field go. Dixon knows that Leap To Fame doesn’t have the gate speed to hold the lead from his pole draw, and knows that the horse who does Turnitup will take a sit as […]
Earlier in the week we told you about Chantal Turpin’s trotter Top Of The Moment’s atrocious record of galloping in races, and explained to you why he shouldn’t have been allowed to race in the Group 1 Trotter’s Cup last night, as under the usual practice the Stewards should have stood the horse down.

Chris Barsby must be as silly as David Fowler is. Why else would he mimic his one time mentor by declaring Leap To Fame a potential favorite before the start of the Group 1 Blacks a Fake at Albion Park? Prospective champion? Balderdash. Contenders for the champions crown don’t do what Leap To Fame does, […]
Bookmaker at Longreach yesterday Peter Anderson looks for all the world in the photo like a man who has just run over his own dog, and backed up and squashed his wife’s cat flatter than a pancake too. Anderson’s long face almost makes you feel so sorry for him that you want to walk up […]
To truly appreciate the greatness of Leap To Fame, take a look at the Australian and New Zealand track records over the staying distance of 2400-2800m. Only one record time is faster than the 1.52.8 that Leap To Fame ran over 2680m last night in winning the Blacks a Fake. That faster time was the […]
A month or two ago we wrote about the safety risks of running greyhounds on the grass track at Bundaberg, and called for the Queensland authorities to immediately shut racing down there on animal welfare grounds until the course is remodeled and rebuilt with a sand surface. Sadly for the dogs that continue to get […]

Bob KATTER: This question is to the CEO. I should start by saying that prior to your tenure there were a number of issues with track redevelopment, namely at Charters Towers and Charleville, and, as I understand it, personnel being moved on. Do you see that impacting on the ability to do upgrades that are […]
