The Jigger Photos Might Have Been Deleted – But We Still Got ‘Em – So Do You
How Long is a Piece of String?
Codename Marcus came into Saturday night’s Chariots of Fire qualifier The Bonanza with the sort of form that would make you want to slit your wrists if you owned him, Two starts back he’d been smashed by Leap To Fame by nearly fifty metres in the Vic Derby, and then he’d gone like a mule […]
The Gav – Given, Going, Gone
Do you remember the gala Hunter Cup barrier draw events that the Victorian Harness Racing Club held at the Crown Casino in 2021 and 2022? The ones on which they dropped a motza? And at which they launched and then consolidated the Graeme Lang Medal for the trainer of the most Group 1 winners and […]
PVL Tries to Pull a Swift One
Outside of the AFL Grand Finals, the Melbourne Cup, State of Origin and The Everest, what else is there for national events? Peter V’landys, waxing lyrical about the potential $20 million a year he wants for the rights to host the NRL Grand Final Umm, Peter, how about these? Test match cricket. T20. The Australian […]
Where Did the Paint Go Off the Walls?
Trot trainer Emma Stewart’s horses won $4.582 million dollars last year, in Victoria alone. Ben Yole earned $2.991 million, a staggering amount for a Tasmanian trainer, even if about $432 000 was won in Victoria. The next highest earning stable in the country were the Bonds in Western Australia, who won almost exactly half what […]
Whip Me With Wire and Pass Me the Scones Please
So in 2020 this bum jockey with a strike rate of 6% named Joshua Morrow smashes a horse over the head with his whip in the prelim to a jump out at Toowoomba. The prick hits it really, really hard too, smashes it in fact. It’s the day after Cup day, and the Stewards are […]
Steele? – Nah, Not Him – Never
Was that stood down CEO Scott Steele who strode into Albion Park as large around 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon? The bloke on the rape charges? What’s he doing at the track? And why was he talking to former gallops bookmaker Lindsay Gallagher, the rumoured architect of the team driving rorts that are prevelant in Brisbane […]
More on Ben Yole, and the Kids His Scumbag Practices Caused to Get Smashed Up
just a week after the tragic crash that shouldn’t have happened that killed 4 horses and maimed a whole lot of kids, things are starting to look real bad for TasRacing, and after years of turning blind eyes to Ben Yole’s nefarious activities so they bloody should. I just hope that this prick doesn’t bring […]
It’s a Shame the Horse is So Slow
So Brisbane is a one horse town is it? That’s lucky, because Dolphin’s don’t run on land, and Redcliffe is a different city. The not running on land thing is a worry though. Redcliffe’s lack of any quality players is an even bigger one. Your best bet of the season is the Dolphins not to win […]
The Greatest Certainty Ever to Step on a Track
It’s not a question of whether Anamoe wins the Apollo Stakes on Saturday, it’s a question of by how far? There is nothing in this race that can beat Australia’s best galloper. Truth be told there is probably nothing that can get within 2 lengths of him. If you have your life on him you […]
