I Wouldn’t Back John Zielke’s Horse With Your Money
John Zielke was once the King of the Kids, the most successful trainer of 2-year-olds in QLD. It seems a long time ago. In recent years Zielke hasn’t trained a winner since Adam was a boy. He tries again tomorrow to crack his drought for the umpteenth time. Eagle Farm race 1 number 1 Kalamia […]
Heaven Forbid I Tip You This
Heaven Forbid on its recent form looks like an absolute walker. It has won just 2 from 31, and its past 7 starts has run 980700P. On form it couldn’t win race 5 at Addington today if it had fifty meters start. But it has opened up at $2.90 favorite. There is a reason for […]
I’ve Seen Better Cox Plates Than This One
Perhaps I am old fashioned, or maybe I am just being harsh, but I have seen better Cox Plate fields than this one. Sure we get that they have won plenty of Group 1’s between them, but are the names of Sir Delius, Aeliana, Ceolwulf, Warwoven or Cosmic Crusader ever likely to feature in the […]

It’s Going to be an Aussie Trifecta in the NZ Trotting Cup
I hate to say this, for fear of offending my Kiwi compatriots and some of my friends, but the NZ Trotting Cup (which is really a pace) is starting to look like a three horse race to me. And they are all Australians. But they are not the top 3 in the market. Larry wins […]
The Bloke Needs to Learn Some Manners
So jockey Masa Abe goes out to trackwork wearing these META sunglasses, which can film or take photos, play music, talk to you or connect to your phone so you can take calls. In other words, exactly he sort of glasses that riders shouldn’t have on. The Stewards tell Abe to take them off. He […]
If This is How the New Wave of Integrity Begins, Then Gee We’re Fucked in the End
The LNP t0ok over as the QLD Government after that imbecile Steven (Smiles) Miles gifted it to them, and as a result a bible bashing hypocrite who knew plenty about footy but SFA about racing took over as Racing Minister from the well-meaning niece of Tony and Gerry Bellino, who knew absolutely nothing about racing […]
Is This Fair Dinkum?
If a person is on the Forfeit List they are in effect warned off, which means they can’t train or ride or own horses, they can’t go to any track in the world, they can’t punt, and they can’t talk to anyone about anything to do with racing. Which, if the currently published Forfeit List […]
