Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Out peeps in the legal fraternity tell us than Jason Hoopert got done for ‘driving’ pissed over the general limit, but not over the middle limit, and for driving without a license. The funny thing is that we are told that the fool wasn’t driving a car, he was riding an e-scooter. What an absolute […]
Further to our earlier story about jigger man Todd Austin’s new bowler Terry Hall, we are told that the new kid in town almost collected and cleaned up a somewhat large – as in front rower sized – former trainer’s much loved wife while working his horses in the dark on the Barcaldine track in […]
Mt Isa jockey Jason Hoopert has never met me, nor me him, but it is clear that he doesn’t like me very much. And given the way that he takes pictures of female jockeys arses, ditto. There is no Place for Pervs at the Track Karma is a funny girl. Jason Hoopert was in the […]
Dear QRIC I see your advert for a Senior Steward, and note that it is listed under the occupational classification of Journalism and Writing. Although I myself never knew that senior racing integrity roles were designed for racing writers, given recent events that demonstrate that your current incumbents in the job don’t know what day […]
It is by now well known that an agreement has been struck between Racing NSW and the Australian Turf Club (ATC) to allow Morgan Kelly – the man that Peter V’Landys and co wanted to appoint as administrator of the race club, and which the ATC opposed and rejected – to undertake an independent review […]

It was backed from $4.00 into $1.85, and although it got beaten you can see why. The inexperienced Duke became unbalanced and galloped at the start, and lost who […]
See the three embargoes placed on horses by the Stewards after the Bowen race meeting on Saturday 11 April? Well they might have been, but they weren’t. As I write this it is Sunday the 19th of April. Not a single one of the embargoes has been put in place. See below. This is very, […]
Captain Maverick, last in the lime green with black and white sleeves and black and white checked cap, was an outsider at $71.oo in race 5 at Eagle Farm on Saturday. Notwithstanding the price, it was a very odd ride by Kyle Wilson-Taylor, and had he taken the right option instead of the wrong, the […]
Remember us telling you a couple of months ago about how Cloncurry trainer Terry Hall (pictured at top) was moving to Barcaldine to train out of the jigger man Todd Austin’s stables at Barcaldine, after Austin was refused a license when his electric DQ expired and his previous bowler Brett Cavanough bailed, not that he […]
