Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
For months Frankie Ferocious was odds-on favorite to win last night’s Group 1 Rising Sun at Albion Park, and given his victories in the Group 2 Victorian 4YO Bonanza in the summer and the Group 1 Chariots of Fire in the autumn, so he should have been. In fact on those performances his right price […]
I don’t know about you, but I normally hang out or stand up straight when I’m checking out the talent. Methinks the Stewards report might be a mistake. What about you?
Have you ever seen a stuff-up like the start of race 6 at Doomben yesterday in your life? The rider of Glorious Ruby gets hurled out the back of the stalls. There is shouting and commotion everywhere, and the official behind the gates raises their hand to alert the starter, but it doesn’t work. Somehow […]
The Cobbler has lost the plot. They are not even racing at Sandown today, the meeting’s at Caulfield. If this isn’t a public cry for help you’ve never seen one. You’d have to wonder how much of the $700 grand he won a couple of years ago is gone. His bookie needs to ban him. […]
In a shock development today the Group 1 winners Don’t Stop Dreaming and We Walk By Faith have been pulled out of the Mark and Nathan Purdon barn and transferred to their former training partner Hayden Cullen. The move is said to have been triggered by owners Mark and Dennis Dunford’s dissatisfaction with Mark Purdon’s […]

Our favorite Kiwi trot trainer Mark Jones needs just one more winner to make it to the 800 career wins mark. Will he ever get there is the question most are asking? Jones has been stranded on 700 for the past 5 weeks since he last trained a winner, and hasn’t even looked like getting […]
With the entire future of the Auckland Trotting Club dependent on the finalisation of the sale of its land and training centre at Pukekohe and the payment of the balance of $90 million by the buyer, we thought we would do some research into who exactly that company or person is. This is what we […]
The announcement by the NSW Racing Minister that he has ordered GWIC to conduct an inquiry into various matters concerning Greyhound Racing NSW while under just-resigned CEO Rob Macaulay’s leadership has gained widespread publicity in recent days, mainly for all the wrong reasons. Allegations 0f animal cruelty made by GRNSW’s former chief vet Alex Brittan […]
In scenes straight out of the movie Dumb and Dumber, apprentices Tahlia Fenton and Alisha Donald were both yesterday fined by Stewards at the Ipswich meeting for breaches of the rules relating to jockeys phone use. They should also have been charged with rank stupidity. Fenton’s offence involved using her mobile phone while in the […]
