Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Tasracing Review Report 2020 – Tasmanian Government Well look at this will you? Every single Tasmanian adult contributes $58.68 from their taxes to fund harness racing on the Apple Isle. Ben ‘Chainsaw’ Yole wins most of it. He won more last year in prizemoney than the other nine of the top ten trainers combined. So […]
I want you to have a look at two races at Albion Park on Friday night. Before you do, just remind yourself of these connections. Peter McMullen – husband of Chantal Turpin; brother of Narissa, Taleah and Danielle; cousin of Nathan, Kelli and Trent Dawson. Chantal Turpin – sister of footy player Jake Turpin; daughter […]
So we turn to race 7, and here we have the inter-connections as follows: 1 – trained and driven by Trent Dawson, owned by Crystal Towns 2 – trained and owned by Ryan Veivers 3 – driven by Nathan Dawson 5 – trained by Ron Sallis, driven by Narissa McMullen 7 – trained by Ron […]
George Fiacchi was appointed by the SA Government as its general to launch a war against Globe Derby. Fiacchi’s mission was to take on the club and take over their SA trot citadel, then strip it bare and sell everything that it owned to the favoured bidder. We told you this three years ago, and […]
Can you believe that in the post #metoo, Jeffrey Epstein and his odious mate Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins age, the Gold Coast Turf Club still thinks it is okay to name a race the OFFICE CHICKS QTIS 2YO HANDICAP?

The NZ Thoroughbred Racing Starters Manual stipulates in no uncertain terms that the starter shall (must) test the starting gates before the first race to ensure they are working properly. It is not an if or but situation; the gates must be tested. The starter at Gore race meeting on 21 January, Steve Batt, didn’t […]
For a long time now I have been telling you that the NSW swabbing regime at Menangle is off. The Stewards proved it again last night. In the main race of the night there were only three horses in the betting market, the McCarthy trained Spirit of St Louis at $2.40 and Bondi Lockdown at […]
I don’t mean to pick on Jason Bonnington, for I have never met the bloke and have nothing against him personally. It’s just that he speaks utter crap with such authority that I fear that unsuspecting punters might start to mistake his elevated levels of self-confidence for competence, and start believing the rubbish he spouts, […]
Chad Schofield rode a double at Rosehill yesterday, but it was a strange, strange day for the son of Glyn, and one so lucky that you’d hope he went straight from the course to the newsagent to buy himself a lotto ticket. In race 2 Schofield weighed in more than a kilogram over on the […]
If the Sunshine Coast is Queensland’s premier race track we are all in huge trouble. It’s not of course. For all it’s problems Eagle Farm is, and will always be, Queensland’s number 1. Doomben is 2nd. The two coasts – Sunshine and Gold – are in the running for 3rd. It’s a mistake to think […]
