Pete, mate of Nathan Jack and tough guy when he’s three on one. Aren’t we all? So I am at the pub with the boys tonight, and Maggie’s down at the yacht club dancing with her girlfriends. I leave the lads around eleven and ride the motorbike down to have a quick boogie and a […]
Hadyn Flynn used to the number 2 bookie in the Brisbane ring until he retired to Cairns to dance with the ladies on a Friday night. The seed obviously doesn’t fall far from the tree, although the quality of fruit tends to improve with age and inter-breeding. The young bloke in the picture is Flynn’s […]

Busuttin would be be a great mentor to aspiring QLD trainers who attend the Racing QLD Academy, if it were not […]
Bookmaker turned fledging funds manager Tom Waterhouse has made an eye-opening return of more than 1800 per cent in two years buying gambling shares for investors, as the boom in the US wagering market has sent global betting stocks skyrocketing. Much of the big return is from a canny deal struck with ASX-listed BetMakers, on […]
My understanding is that Altrenogest has a greater performance enhancing effect on mares than geldings, Its use on geldings as far as I know is more to quell ‘coltish’ behaviour than to give it a lift.
