Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I don’t mean to be a smart arse, but I said two months ago that taking Verry Ellegant to France at her age was madness, and told you that she was a million to one to win the Arc. Well guess what I was right. Sadly I think that the great mare is racing lame. […]
There were 8 runners in race 4 the trot at Globe Derby today. Gaita – sorry, Frank – Pullicino trained 2 of them. If a race was ever ripe for a plunge this was it. Usually when the Pullicino’s pull one they put Mario Borg on the rabbit. Not always though. Today was one of […]
The Hulbert stable or their supporters didn’t miss this one. It was the 6th race at Lismore. Smart Kubrick was backed from $101 into $5.50. Now that’s a go of Getting Closer proportion. The horse was first up for four months, and had been beaten out of sight at it’s only two starts in Brisbane. […]
Bowen It was a great day out at the mango capital of QLD on Saturday afternoon, with a card of good fields and competitive racing. The spoils were shared equally with no one trainer or jockey winning more than a single race. Garry Dickson – the man known the length and breadth of the land […]
It’s lucky Nathan Jack doesn’t punt. The poor bugger would be in the poor house. Well, maybe not. There is always the case against HRV. I wonder how much they are going to have to pay? My guess is that it won’t be cheap. What about that drive on Arden Roanake in the first hey? […]
Sunday 21 August 2022 09.00 AM Nathan Jack – Hello? Archie Butterfly – N. Jack, AJ Butterfly speaking. Stooged you with the new phone number didn’t I? Oh fuck, not you again Archie. Now now Nathan, be kind. It wasn’t me who slaughtered Arty last night was it? WHAT! You are off your head! Well […]
In the past 118 years, only two sides that finished outside the top 4 have ever won the NRL Grand Final. One was the Broncos in 1993 who had a team list that read O’Neill, Carne, Johns, Renouf, Hancock, Walters, Langer, Matterson, Cann, Gillmeister, Hohn, Kerrod Walters, Lazarus, with Gee, Ryan and Plath on the […]
Alinghi won the Blue Diamond in her 2YO season in 2003. Then she won the Thousand Guineas in her 3YO season in 2004. And the next year she won the Sangster Stakes and the Newmarket in her 4YO season in 2005. Between 2005 and 2007 Darci Brahma won the JJ Atkins as a 2YO, the […]
I am expecting Alligator Blood to be given the green light to race in the Victorian spring carnival, starting with next Saturday’s Group 1 Memsie Stakes where Damien Oliver is poised to ride. The situation isn’t quite resolved but I understand a change of ownership, with colourful owner Allan Endresz potentially selling his share in the […]
Do you remember us telling you a few weeks ago that My Ultimate Jacko was the buy of the century for $40 000 at the very poorly catalogued APG Mixed Sale, which did neither he or his vendors any justice at all? Well Jacko had his first start for new owners Chainsaw Yole and his […]
