Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What the hell happened in the Caduceus Classic at Melton last night? Nathan Jack drove Copy That like an absolute lunatic, and got it beaten. He got Mark Pitt and Honolua Bay done over too. Kate Gath did it to herself. This was one weird race. Here is how it rolled. N. Jack comes out […]
If Charlie and his boys and their kids go down in a plane crash it’s a tragedy. Not just for them and their family. For the world. Take them out of the picture, and Andrew becomes King. He’d take it too, and think that we wanted him. Buckingham Palace would probably get moved to Jeffrey […]
The Group 1 J.J. Atkins – formerly the T.J. Smith, and before that the Castlemaine – is Queensland’s pre-eminent 2YO race. It’s Australia’s second best mile race for juveniles too, about a half head behind the Champagne Stakes. Only two New Zealand horses have won it in the 21st century, Sacred Elixir who went on […]
Out celebrating North Queensland’s mauling of the Sharks in Macrossan Street tonight I don’t need to tell you why the Cowboys came good do I? It’s not Todd Payten. It’s me. Archie moves to Port Douglas in the pre-season, dives into the Coral Sea, and has a word to the water and the wind. “Fuck […]
Having a day out at the track to celebrate the life of legendary Clifford Park race caller Pat O’Shea is a wonderful idea, and I respect each and all of the callers from around the State who turn up to pay tribute to the doyen of table top broadcasting. But the actual Race Callers Cup […]

ALBION PARK Race 3 no 7 – Ronaldo Is a much better pacer than his recent form looks. Was going to win mid-week for all money until he was interfered with in a fall. The draw is not ideal but he comes into 5 with the scratchings so it’s not as bad as it looks. […]
About 4 months ago we tipped you into a young 2-year-old Kiwi gelding that we declared was going to win the Caulfield Guineas. Sharp ‘N’ Smart is its name. He resumes today in a 1400m race at an obscure NZ track called Ruakaka. The mail is that he will win. After that starts the debate. […]
The strong whisper from across the ditch is that a very high profile harness racing identity named That has nodded their head to plead guilty to that. That – the thing not the person – being a charge of possessing or supplying the drug MDMA, aka Ecstasy or Eccy. The scumbag Matt Anderson was disqualified […]
Cameron Ross (right), with Jumping Jack Callaghan There are reports out of WA that a bloke looking very like Grant Dixon’s former stablehand turned Group 1 winning Menangle trainer Cameron Ross has been sighted disembarking from the red eye flight from Sydney to Perth about once every 4-6 weeks, and spending five days or so […]
