Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Tim Vince is a breath of fresh air – someone you enjoy being around on a racecourse. He has a delightful sense of cynical humour that he almost makes his own. A lifetime devotee of the horse, Vince is as immersed in both sides of the horse game as anyone you can think of. He owns and […]
Nurse, nurse, call the medics! Last week he was cheerleading for the bankrupt crook Allan Endresz, this week Ben Dorries from Racenet is spruiking putting the Melbourne Spring Carnival back to summer. This bloke is off his head. Customer focused, customer focused, Dorrie screams repeatedly. We’re not customers mate, we are punters. Customers are what […]
The biggest plunge seen at the WA trots for a long time landed last night on race 7 at Gloucester Park. Rolling Fire was the horse’s name, and it was backed from $81 into $10. It should have been too. This race was a boatie. For the uninitiated, a boatie means the raced was fixed. […]
De La Tourbie gave ground from the 600m. It underwent a post-race veterinary examination which revealed no abnormalities. A warning was issued in relation to it’s performance. Bullshit. Absolute and utter bullshit. De La Tourbie won the race, on its ear. It didn’t lose ground it made it, and there was no vet exam or […]
So without even looking at the betting records, or hauling the suspect drivers of the horses involved into the room and grilling them, the RWWA Stewards headed by the recent law graduate Chris Courtland (pictured above) decide that everything about the most blatant boat race in living memory run last night is all just tickety […]
A couple of weeks back a race meeting was abandoned at Emerald in controversial circumstances. Trainers were driving from near and far to come and race at the meeting, most from far. If they had been provided with early notice of the meet being called off they could have stayed home. Instead many of them […]
Racing Queensland have issued the statement above in relation to the tragic death of my mate Tracy Kunde. If you didn’t know the circumstances and you read this, you’d think Trace had topped himself. He didn’t. The big man died of a heart attack. Racing people spent half an hour trying to revive him, but […]
Time heals all wounds they say, but leaves the scar So I think I’ll not go back to Camooweal No I think I’ll not go back to Camooweal Slim Dusty If it’s good enough for Slim, it’s good enough for Racing Queensland. There hasn’t been a meeting held at the track up at Camooweal track […]
I have no Guinness Book of Records at hand, and the 50 years worth of harness racing yearbooks are stored over at the clubhouse at the long closed track, so I can’t be sure, but I reckon Ben Yole might has set a world first in harness racing last night at Launceston. The first trainer […]
Brett Finch How sick a puppy is this bloke? WTF is wrong with him? Everything. You can’t blame drugs and alcohol for you being a paedophile. This grub is a disgrace. Cameron Smith The golfer, not the hooker. How much is enough? Smith could have made hundreds of millions over the course of a career […]
