Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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. Chadwick sat ON the panels, he didn’t CHAIR them. The reason for that is […]
The word out of Auckland is no. I find it hard to believe myself, but that’s what they say. Nothing about the ATC would surprise me. We will find out soon I guess. When the rain breaks.
See the thing above? It’s a list of shareholders in a company named Medical Australia. In 2014 Medical Australia bought a company named Medivet.

This is John Baker. He is said to be a supplier of EPO to horse trainers. Those in the know say he is low level. Turbo and Grimmo don’t think so. Not that I would know why. Or they would tell. Have you seen John ducking in and out of Menangle? Next time you do […]
Amanda Turnbull trains a horse called Bling The Luck. Prior to yesterday it had run around 27 times without ever winning a race. The fastest time that it had ever run in defeat was 1.59.6 three starts back at Goulburn. Goulburn is a track at least 4.6 seconds faster than Blayney, according to the track […]
It’s not easy to beat Lloyd Williams. Frank Hudson did. Good bookies never lose, or not in the long run anyway. Not on the book anyway. Cards are different story. He doesn’t know it yet, but I am taking Frank on in a quite probably weekend long game of 7 card stud starting Friday night […]
Rugby Australia (RA) is full of shit. It’s Chairman Hamish Mclennan can talk it up as much as he wants, and buy as many Joseph Sua’ali’i’s as he likes – until the money runs out anyway, a date not too far away – but the truth and the simple facts are that the code beloved […]
