Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
John Symons and Sheila Laxon had to fight like hell to get their circa half million dollar share of Knight’s Choice’s winning prizemoney for the Melbourne Cup, after RISA and/or Racing Victoria stuffed up and paid it to their old business partner, who trousered the cash. Fortunately for the blissfully happy couple they followed our […]
Nathan ‘Cracker’ Jack is a genius of a driver. But no-one ever accused him of being honest. On Saturday night at Melton he proved both. Keith from QLD had the quaddie going 1300 times one out coming into the last leg, which wasn’t hard because the first 3 winners were the odds on faves Jilliby […]
There was something wrong with Kingman on Saturday night in the Ballarat Cup. He was hanging in from the moment Luke McCarthy brought him off the fence with a lap and a half to go, and he did so all the way home. That’s not how this horse races when right. He is not Captain […]
We give Stewards heaps here on peterprofit.com, but none of it is ever personal, or intended to be anyway. Often we will slag the stipes off over what we perceive as performance issues, but like all of our stories it’s said through the lens of a bloke in the public bar at the Geebung RSL […]
30 years ago today my first child was born. Wow. Her mum has got genes. She didn’t get it from me. Happy birthday baby. Love you to the moon and back. And back again. And again and again and again……
Call her Butterfly, Madam Butterfly. Maggie dropped out first foal 30 years ago today, on Australia Day. How cool. My great grandfather died on Anzac Day 1918, on the Western Front. His great great, great granddaughter was born on Australia Day. What a great country this is. God bless Australia. 30 years hey? F**k I’m old. […]
Read your story about Liam Birchley with interest and agree he was badly done over by a steward who was obviously a complete dictator. Agree Liam was always a master 2yo trainer and winning the Karaka Millions for the 3rd time is a brilliant achievement. One of his best 2YO wins in the last 12 months […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPM16012601.mp4 The one to watch in this race from Gloucester Park last week is the 6. That’s Not My Gait is its name. It wasn’t its gait either. This was a trotters race. It paced the whole way. RWWA Stewards should have disqualified it immediately. They didn’t, because they missed the wrong gait completely, even […]
Keep your eyes on the dog in the white rug number 3 in race 8 at Richmond. You would have torn your ticket up in disgust before they’d gone 50 meters. Then this. Wow! Slap me I’m seeing things.
Liam Birchley is a great trainer, and an even better bloke. He is true Australian too. The wannabe coppers at Racing Victoria back in the day took him without any evidential basis for everything that he had, and kicked him out on his own. Liam was down, but he never bit the dust. Men of […]
