Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
When I watched the 3rd race at Randwick on the Kenso yesterday I thought it was off, and a boatie for sure. It just shows how wrong you can be. Have a look yourself and tell me that it didn’t look like all the other riders sat off the well-backed leader Journalism, and allow the […]
Gee this was a funny ride by Brodie Loy on the topweight Deep Romance in the 3rd race at Doomben yesterday. He is the one in the black and white sitting out the back in 2nd place for most or the race. The horse – who is well in the market – starts to improve […]
This bloke was the subject of a national manhunt in New Zealand after he shot a bloke twice at a gang pad and bolted on a plane. He would have been hard to find wouldn’t he? I hope the arresting officer got a medal. They deserve it for recognising this master of disguise.
Animal welfare investigations are growing in number and complexity are they? This is what the NZ RIB Commissioner Mike Clement – a man who had never even been to the races before he was appointed to the job – claims. Really? Where is the evidence of this so-called increase in animal welfare cases in New […]
Fair dinkum bro. If you can get a vet to say that your horse has abnormal excretion rates like the Kiwi gallops trainer Todd Mitchell did, then you can not only escape a 3-month stint on the sidelines and a $500 fine like QLD greyhound trainer Allan Svensen copped, you can escape a charge completely.

QRIC Stewards on Wednesday handed down their penalties against the three participants in the Birdsville jigger case. Trainer Todd Austin – who the stipes clearly believe ordered the jock to give the horse the spark, and was thus the prime offender – got 5 years. The jock Ric McMahon was given 3 1/2, presumably a […]
Many didn’t realise how deeply the Racing Minister was grieving today at Doomben where Grace Grace was keeping her long-standing commitment to the BRC to celebrate International Women’s day at the track. The reason for the Minister’s grief was the recent loss of her much-loved uncle, her mother’s older brother Gerardo Bellino, the Fitzgerald era […]
The favorite in this race is Atreacherous. It is trained by Jeremy Seal and driven by Ryan Hryhorec, who as we shall soon see is about to have a very bad night. Atreacherous is drawn in gate 2, but no-one expects him to lead because he hasn’t done so at his past 22 starts over […]
We move now to race 4, a contest for lowly rated horses in the NR50’s run over a mile. The market only has two in it, Icy Reception trained by Aaron Bain and driven by Wayne Hill at $2.15 and drawn gate 3, and the $2.50 pop Shazzam in gate 6, which is once again […]
And so we move to race 6, the final leg of the quaddie. Race 4 was the 2nd leg. Take My Wallet drawn the outside of the front in gate 6 is the $1.45 favorite. Just like the slaughtered shorty before it’s trained by Aaron Bain and driven by Wayne Hill. The main danger is […]
