Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Last year Boncel Benjamin rose from the claimers to win the most prestigious prize in harness racing, the Inter Dominion championship. He was a champion for a night too. Ever since that win he has gone like the busted arse that he always was, Jason Grimson was proclaimed a genius, but those of us who […]
What on earth was driver Jodie Quinlan thinking aboard Act Now in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of last night’s ID22 Pacers grand final? Only she knows. Act Now led off the arm, and Quinlan walked them early. She ran through the lead time in 87.6 seconds. When Tiger Tara set the track record for […]
Ronaldo came on after 48 and a bit minutes. The man who thinks he is God had his chance to do a Michael Jordan and change the came. He couldn’t. Because of that Portugal lost. At the end of the game he turned his back on the team-mates that he captains, and walked off the […]
It’s half-time in the World Cup quarter final, and Morocco are up 1-0. I have backed them, both for a little bit to win outright in normal time @$10.00, and a lot to qualify, which means they win any which way including in a penalty shoot out.

The question about Spirit of St Louis’ run in the ID 22 Final is not just why it went so bad. It is why after its atrocious performance in Round 3 that the Stewards even let it run at all. Spirit went like a busted arse in that final heat. He sat 1-1 and had […]
Here is what we said after Round 1 of ID22. Mach Dan led and was ordinary. He lacks the guts to win an Inter Dominion. Act Now was great from the 1-1, but not as good as Ego. Honolua Bay won from the death, and I will give him a pat for that. But with […]
This message exchange is from jockey Tom Berry in white, to his punter the Butcher in green. It’s a long way to go from Randwick to Robina just to get a phone isn’t it? Wonder what was in the deleted message? I know! I know! Abba.
MELTON Race 2 no 9 – The Raconteur Huge run last time. Stewart/Tonkin polish, trail through draw, and the top line junior Emily Suvaljko on board make it a good bet. Race 4 no 3 – Major Moth This is the best horse in the field by panels, but he hasn’t raced for a year. […]
The word on the street is that one of the main focuses of the Stewards attention in the Tommy Berry inquiry race number 10 at Royal Randwick on Saturday 23 October 2021. Berry won it on Quantico, which was backed from $10.00 into $7.00. The Butcher is said to have had $10 000 on Berry’s […]
