Now They Are Blaming the Feed Person
The latest is that after Aimee Edmonds unsuccessfully pointed the blame at former stable Stonewall training partner for the positive swab to what we can now confirm is bute thrown by one of their h0rses, they are now blaming the person who mixes the feed.

Flash Aah! – Winner of, the Cleveland Bay!
My favourite crazy galloper Flash Aah, the horse named after the Queen sung theme song from the uber cool and kitsch movie Flash Gordon (as opposed to Flesh Gordon the porno), makes his return to Queensland (pardon the pun) after a couple of Melbourne campaigns in the time honoured Cleveland Bay handicap at Townsville today. […]
The Big Boss – And the Big Tip and Win
About 3 weeks ago we gave you a steer into how good the 2yo colt The Bigboss was, and suggested that the Nutrien Equine Classic final would be a 2 horse race between he and the Kyle Marshall trained bot Smoken Ace. Two Top Shelf 2YO Pacers Emerge Out of the Nutrien Sale Well Smoken […]
Yes, No or Maybe?
There is lot of conjecture about the 3rd race at Newcastle on Wednesday night, the suggestion being that it was a Turnbull team drive fix. I am not so sure that I agree with it. Rather than explain both sides of the argument, I will give you some required background info and let you work […]

Why Drive Obviously Sore Horses Out When They Can’t Win? – What About the Animal’s Welfare?
There was seriously wrong with the Stonewall mare Ardie’s Express in the main race at Addington on Friday night. Ardie’s went off as 2nd favourite and led until halfway around the turn before galloping free of any checks, but she never, ever seemed comfortable at any stage of the race and just wasn’t pacing quite […]
Stone Walls, Swabs and Switching Blame
The very strong mail is that a Stockman Stud owned horse trained in the North Island stable by Steve Telfer has thrown a positive swab. At the moment the horse is not known, but the substance is believed to be phenylbutazone or something similar. It will all come out next week. In the meantime stable […]
