Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The QRIC have got a new Principal Vet. I was wondering why I couldn’t find his registration when I was doing a search of the Vet Board as prep for a positive story. Then it dawned on me. Despite mentioning the Vet’s name six times in it’s press release, the QRIC don’t actually know his […]
https://www.racingqueensland.com.au/racing/replays/tab-race-replays/stewards-player/thoroughbred/doom/20221214/race/2 Remember the story we wrote last week about how we thought jockey Ryan Wiggins would be getting a very long holiday for rolling in on top of one of the favorites in a race at Doomben and costing it all chance? The one where the Stewards let him off without even a reprimand? Well […]
Fancy that hey? You need a minimum of 2 horses to have a match race. Really? I would never have known. Some rules just do not need to be written.
There is strong mail out of Tassie about three things that will be of interest to punters around Australia. 1. A new local rule is about to be introduced that caps the maximum number of starters from any one stable in a single race to four (4). 2. Emma Stewart has purchased, or is purchasing, […]
All words, no action. Welcome to Sydney. The Emerald City of broken racing dreams.
Major Meister came over from NZ to Oz two years ago as the winner of two races, both at country tracks and each in real slow time. His career earnings were just $17 000 NZ. Sweet FA.

Sydney racing is booming on the prize money side, and in almost every single way, bar one. It’s turned it into the hottest thing since molten lave, and I don’t know why. Sorry, yes I do. Greed, sheer greed. Greedy jockeys, fuelled by the desire for the drug money that is awash in the Sydney […]
AT last a major Stewards’ Panel with the courage to take a stand on excessive use of the whip but how many other states will follow the lead of Racing Victoria? Internationally-experienced jockey Blake Shinn got what he deserved losing a race on protest when stewards ruled that but for his over-use of the whip […]
Here is the cherry. Happy days. Don’t you love a big winning weekend?
Ben Yole trained 49 of the 60 runners in races 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 at Burnie on Friday night. He had only 2 of the 8 in Race Two, and in Race Five he had just 3 of the 9. They were the only two that Chainsaw lost all night. In fact […]
