Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The latest news out of Christchurch on Cup morning is somewhat shocking. They say the alleged kiddy-fiddling trainer-driver whose case will one day go trial is widely known to have been accused of a similar course of disgraceful action toward and against a stablehand as far back as 20 years ago. The accused pedo wasn’t […]
The word we are hearing on the jungle wire is Australia’s most handsome Kiwi stable hand Sir Richard Lee is raising Polly eyebrows at his mates all over town, and giving them the eye flick too. For the benefit of all you pakeha and palangi’s out there I will translate. The model like mokopuna is […]
Well we were wrong about Neil Boyle being a Steward in QLD, but not by far, and we are not wrong about the rest. Boyle is now a Steward in Northern NSW. I bet PVL didn’t know that he used jiggers as a trainer when he appointed him. It gets worse. Since we published the […]
Kevin Seymour lent the Globe Derby club $3.5 million to survive. The idea was that the club would pay it’s debts and use the remaining funds to revamp its dining facilities, make the necessary upgrades to it’s gaming areas to make them attractive to the locals, and market the hell out of them both, so […]

Just a day after we wrote about the case of the well-known NZ harness licensee accused of child abuse going to court next week, things have taken a probably not surprising new twist. Another victim has come forward and made a complaint about similar abuse by the licensee to police. This will obviously necessitate further […]
The mail we have had out of the west of QLD is that Chief Steward on the day Kim Daley’s conduct toward a young jockey at the races in Chinchilla on Saturday was just not on. The incident we are referring to occurred after race 4, which resulted in Apprentice Sariah Champkin being reprimanded for […]
These are the Racenet ‘experts’ tips. Only 3 from 9 turned a profit. Mark Guest got 2 from 4, and made 1.25 units. Tony Brassel was 0 from 2, minus 2 units. The Armchair Punter should stay there. He got 1 from 4, at $3.00, for a loss of 1 unit. The Oracle got 2 from […]
