Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
How on earth is the ban on Allan Endresz entering or remaining in the mounting yards at the Melbourne races ‘farcical’, as he claims? Only owners, committee members, race day officials, sponsors and the rare club-invited guests are allowed in the yard, and Alligator Al is none of the above, so he has no right […]
Brae Sokolski was screaming blue murder the whole of last week about Verry Elleegant missing out on a run in the Arc. “A travesty!” he called it. “A huge backward step! Red tape!” I wish someone would tie him up in tape and roll him down the stairs. I’ve never such an annoying owner of […]
HEAT ONE Wasn’t this a ripper of a race, if you pardon the pun, made even better for this writer by the fact he slipped out of his daughters wedding for a minute during the tail end speeches to back both the winner @ $14, and the runner-up each way at $51 and $6 (whatever […]
HEAT ONE What a joke this race was, a typical big race heat. Cracker Jack was allowed to stroll out to the lead from gate 1 on Just Hope in a lead time of 88.2 seconds, which was the slowest of the 3 heats by far, and once there no-one challenged him or her or […]
Torrid Saint’s improvement over the past 18 months has really been quite incredible. Two years ago the Douglas trained pacer was starting at 50-1 when drawn gate two in weak rating 70-79 affairs. Today the now model of consistency is beating genuine top liners and winning classics, just like he did last night in the Smoken […]
The Copy That camp are offering up plenty of excuses for his average Aussie performances, particularly the beaten run on Saturday night, but they are just that, excuses. Nathan Jack did slaughter him first up, there is no doubt about that. They got excited about him winning second-up in Australia, but the reality is that […]
Summit Bloodstock’s website (or websites) have gone very weird. I’m not sure whether their original site was .com or .com.au, but it doesn’t really matter, because both are bizarre. Summitbloodstock.com.au is owned by Jamie Durnberger-Smith, the joint managing director of the Summit Bloodstock company. As you can see from the picture at the top his […]
We gave you three tips this morning. Private Eye won, paying $5.30 and $2.20 (although we got $6 using the boost on Neds). Argentia ran second and paid $2.50 the place. She’s Extreme also ran second and paid $1.70 the place. If you had a single unit on each the win you returned a profit […]
I guess you know now what our huge concern about Albion Park naming cocktails after roots was. The bloke who introduced them – the CEO – is on rape charges. You might as well just put a red light on the front gates. Fuck me dead. Pardon the highly improper pun. I wonder if they […]
Scott Steele is supposed to be stood down as Albion Park CEO. This person is facing rape and sexual assault charges involving employees at his previous workplace. Yet still Albion Park calls him its CEO. Gee they must be proud of their boy. Which is probably why he is still being paid his full salary […]
