Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Rock N Roll Doo looked a superstar late last year when he went bang, bang, bang and won the Caduceus Classic, the Kilmore Cup and the Victoria Cup all in a row. But then the connections made the ill-fated decision to take him over to New Zealand for the Cup. He went like a busted […]
No, not the referendum, although in a way it’s related. This one. Anyone who hung around Brisbane bookmaker’s rings when they had one will recognize it for sure. It used to boom out at loud volume, particularly around the stand of rails bookie Lindsay Gallagher (more on him soon). Certain Melbourne bookies who ended up […]
LGHR has been reliably informed that in excess of 40 people – we find it hard to believe – have departed since the new ‘Dream Team’ took control of the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission. The old adage ‘dispense with those who represent a threat’ is alive and kicking at this under-performing, over-funded Labor Government enterprise […]
International globetrotting steward Pete ‘the Plodder’ Chadwick started work at Harness Racing Victoria on the weekend, with the great man sitting on the panels at both the Group 1 Southern Stars and Hunter Cups meetings on Friday and Saturday night respectively.
