Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A month ago I was questioning whether the Aussie champ Lochinvar Art was up to beating the best in America. This morning I am eating humble pie for brekky, and smiling like the Cheshire Cat with each chomp. Artie didn’t just beat the best older horses in America in the Battle of Lake Eyrie at […]

Race 3 at Barcaldine, 10th of June 2o23. The field gets to the 100m mark. And the screen goes blank. When the vision comes back on there are people running everywhere, and ambulances racing on to the track.

Racing Victoria’s CEO Andrew ‘Bones’ Jones showed great promise during the month after his appointment, but it soon proved to be all puff and smoke and mirror and one two handed wankery. He is as useless as his predecessor the yuppie Giles Thompson, and as hard as it is to believe, probably worse. RV has […]
Have a look at this will you? Mathew Neilson is driving the 3 horse off the Lulu Mae. Lulu is the 3rd favorite in the race. She has blown out from $5 to $10 in the betting. Grant Dixon’s drive Aroda is drawn 2 the back row. The last thing in the world that Neilson […]
Matt has been my mate since were teens at the racetrack, and I love him. You would too if you knew him. About a decade ago his Mum was diagnosed with severe onset dementia, and all but one of his siblings wanted to put her in a nursing home because they claimed that they didn’t […]
