Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We have written previously about the openly condoned dishonesty of the Dunn Stable in New Zealand, and how HRNz and the NZ Racing Integrity Board’s failure to act on their blatant fraud damages the integrity of racing by allowing the true trainer of the stable’s horses John Dunn to so often break the rules. It […]
There is no such place in Queensland as McKinley. The town where they raced on the weekend – the one that is home to the Walkabout Creek pub that featured in Crocodile Dundee – used to be called Mackinlay after the first white man to discover the local river, but since a change of name […]
Tyler Lesight had been outed for 4 weeks for calling fellow jockey Wanderson D’Avila a black c**t. It was a remark made for chivalrous reasons, but the way it was delivered was wrong. Everyone knows that D’Avila is a c**t. A wife beating, woman exploiting and then abandoning, violent but cowardly no good piece of […]
I’m no mathematician, and neither is my friend the Librarian, but we both looked at the fields for the Launceston trots last night and thought exactly the same thing. What are the odds of one trainer having 7 horses entered in 7 races and from them pulling 5 x gate 1 and a gate 2? […]
Warning – This Stewards Report is satirical, and the events detailed in it didn’t in the main really happen. People without a sense of humor should only view when under Parental Guidance. RACE ONE – ALLIED EXPRESS PACE 2300m BLUTO NZ: When questioned about the defeat of the favorite BLUTO NZ trainer/driver B. Hewitt advised […]
A bloke I know wanted to have some loose change in his Bet365 account the place on his mate’s horse LL Cool J at the trots so that he could have a token interest while watching and cheering it home. LL Cool J’s place price was $2.15, in a race in which they were only […]
Hi Archie Get a load of this for a “workout” last 50 meters Dylan Ferguson with the whip. Bloke is a shocker, constantly getting suspended for the whip use. I think he needs to find another hobby to let his anger out! What do you think? Aaron from Aorangi Editor’s note I reckon Dylan Ferguson […]
It seems rather harsh asking this question given that the margin was only a pimple, but skilled jockeys know the difference between a walrus and a whisket, and Nathan Day’s no slug. It appeared to me that down the straight Day looked perfectly content to run second, and got somewhat of a shock when his […]
On Friday night it was Leap To Fame who went down at unbackable odds of $1.04, last night it was Swayzee who got beaten at$1.08. Both red hot faves went down for the same reason. They went too slow early with a devastating finisher glued to their back, allowing the horse behind them to keep […]
We have written a lot about the failings of the Tasmanian harness stewards, but the officials at the trots are not alone. The gallops Stewards are pretty bad too. The Chief Steward Mr Bruce Free leads the way. Mr Free is best remembered as the integrity official who inspected the bullring at greyhound trainer Anthony […]
