Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
So on Wednesday night a mentally ill disability pensioner in Glebe cut the crap out of himself with a knife. A concerned neighbour – a should be good Samaritan – called the police to save him from his demons. The cops rocked up at Housing Commission flats that he lived in – did live in […]
Dylan Gibbons rode a double at Warwick Farm yesterday, but Zac Lloyd pulled one back to keep the Sydney apprentice title race well and truly alive. Gibbons now sits on 72 wins, 2 ahead of Lloyd with three meetings to go. These kids are so amazingly talented that either of them could home a double […]
Jett Turnbull is the son of Nathan Turnbull, who is the son of Steve Turnbull, who is the son of AD ‘Tony’ Turnbull, who like his son after him an absolute legend of the Australian harness racing game. What this family family haven’t won in the trot game isn’t worth winning. I reckon they are […]
Re your story earlier about what happens to all the old or slow horses that didn’t sell at the Nutrien Winter Woolies auction, here’s a tip. Don’t just watch the passed in ones, watch out also for the future of the broodmares in the auction that sold for less than the service fee of the […]
A couple of days ago we told how the previously healthy pacers Eight Carat, Juggernaut and Steam Punk died in training on the Byford track. Well would you believe it Jesus has turned up and – mistaking them for Lazarus – raised these 3 horses from the dead. The Stewards must have known that the […]
Where have all the good NSW horses gone you ask? They are right in front of your face Archie. Leap To Fame is NSW bred. Funny as it might seem, his grand dam was raced by Kevin Seymour, who had to send his man down to the APG sale in NSW to buy him back […]

Dashing Dan Andrews mob are seriously contemplating issuing Sportsbet and Tabcorp dual licenses to run the TAB. It seems like madness. What will best […]
If you could raise $100 million for charity by trekking the Kokoda trail there’d be a line up half-way around the world to have a crack. What this crew are doing to help others is hugely admirable, and I tip my hat to them all. Dig deep and kick in. But the headline is a […]
Albion Park tried to replicate the Fashions on the Field at the Stradbroke Handicap at it’s Sunshine Sprint Meeting on Saturday night. They even dragged out the turn out anywhere as long as its free crew, including the BRC fashion ambassador Mildred Ellwood, who is a nurse in her day job, and ‘bestie’ of a […]
There is a huge holler and hoopla about yesterday’s Nutrien announcement of a $1.25 million race night at Melton on the 13th of April next year, but what does it all actually mean? What are the prize purses for each race? Nutrien had already promised national series races worth a minimum of $975 000. Is the […]
