Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I don’t mean to pick on Jason Bonnington, for I have never met the bloke and have nothing against him personally. It’s just that he speaks utter crap with such authority that I fear that unsuspecting punters might start to mistake his elevated levels of self-confidence for competence, and start believing the rubbish he spouts, […]
Chad Schofield rode a double at Rosehill yesterday, but it was a strange, strange day for the son of Glyn, and one so lucky that you’d hope he went straight from the course to the newsagent to buy himself a lotto ticket. In race 2 Schofield weighed in more than a kilogram over on the […]
If the Sunshine Coast is Queensland’s premier race track we are all in huge trouble. It’s not of course. For all it’s problems Eagle Farm is, and will always be, Queensland’s number 1. Doomben is 2nd. The two coasts – Sunshine and Gold – are in the running for 3rd. It’s a mistake to think […]
See the name of the company that got given the Eureka website job? Paul Kelly Creative. It’s a common name Kelly, so of and in itself it wouldn’t mean anything. Maybe it doesn’t. But maybe it does. Paul Kelly Creative is based in Geelong. Guess where Andrew Kelly grew up? Geelong. Guess where they both […]
And the winner is ……… the person we should have been looking at the whole time, the best qualified man for the job; by quality, character and experience. Who would John Dumesny replace himself with? It’s easy when you think about. JD would replace himself with JD. Remember the Eureka? It was Kevin Seymour’s idea, […]
Look at the clods they are throwing up on the so-called poly track at the Gold Coast today. That is not supposed to happen on a real poly track. They are made of wax coated fibre and don’t kick back like this. In fact they don’t kick back at all, or are not supposed to […]
I have been wondering all week why a vastly experienced trainer like Graeme Rogerson would put a jockey like Ryan Elliott on Sharp N Smart – the best horse that Rogie has had in 2 decades, and maybe his best ever – on board in a Group 1 Classic like the Thorndon Mile. Ten hours […]
King Island is not the fastest track in the world, that’s for sure. Grass gallops tracks in the middle of the Bass Straight that are only used at mixed code meetings tend not to be. But no matter how slow the grass is, you don’t see things like you saw in Race 3 there today […]
Dear Maggie Well it was 15 days ago, but I’ve been busy. You forgot too. So we’re square. Happy Anniversary baby. I got you on my mind. Always have from the day we first locked eyes, and I always will. You present is in the mail. It’s bloody slow up here in the top end, […]
Do you remember when Ride High was the next big thing? A superstar they all said, the best horse in Australia, and maybe even the world. Yeah right. Here are the horses that Ride High beat. Idealsomemagic – 82 starts for 13 wins. Last season had 5 starts for no wins, 1 second and a […]
