The Doctor Keeps on Trying – It’s a Shame Tommy Lincoln Doesn’t
If you believed Dr Barry Lichter’s spin he’d have you thinking Tommy Lincoln was a champion, instead of a weak gutted, spineless jellyfish who meows like a cat. Tommy this, Tommy that, Tommy every bloody week. Wake up Doc! Silk purses, sow’s ears. This horse is a squib. You can talk it up as much […]
Has Anyone Got a Map? – I Think Dave Di Somma is Lost
I imagine that Mark Pitt was someone surprised to learn that he trained Shez All Rock in Tasmania when this article by Dave Di Somma was published a few years back. The people at Shepparton where the mare was actually trained would have been too. You can’t blame Dave. He’s from Christchurch. Cantabrians can’t see […]
The Rake of the Century – (No That’s Not a Misprint) – First Published March 2021
This is Rake 8 at the Townsville greyhounds last night, the 2nd heat of the Easter Sprint Trophy. It swept me off my feet that it was declared a race. The inside dogs are still scratching their heads about it.
Now Races at Addington are Being Sponsored By Anti-Abortionist Virgin Males Wearing Dresses – Hate is the New Black at Addington – And Probably the Old One Too
The Sovereign Pontiff John Paul II, in the Audience of March 28, 2003, approved the present Considerations, adopted in the Ordinary Session of this Congregation, and ordered their publication. Joseph Card. Ratzinger Prefect Sometimes I wonder whether the old boys who run racing are insane. Friday night at Addington was one of them. On this […]
The Cinderella Man Sinks the Slipper
Last week we told you the story about jockey Ian French and his comeback to riding after almost a decade off the scene. We told you he was the world’s oldest apprentice, only because Racing QLD said it was so. Apparently he’s not. The QRIC tells us now that jockey French was incorrectly listed as […]
They Say a Man Gets the Face That He Deserves – They Don’t Lie
It’s true. Gerald Ryan has got his. If you had to paint a picture of a sicko pedo, it would look exactly like this. That’s because it is what it is. A portrait of a drunk who gets his jollies from doing shit things to young men, all for his own perverse pleasure. Sorry, sorry, […]
Ben Yole is a Champion – Just Like Elephants Who Crush Ants
Ben Yole trained 60 of the 86 runners on eight race card at Launceston last night. That is more than 2 out of every 3 starters. Yole trained the card. With a weight of those numbers it was inevitable that he’d do so some day. A whole lot of people are praising Chainsaw and patting […]

I love her. Beaver got her start at the Birdsville races in 2010 when she was working as a security guard. She joined Fred Brophy’s travelling boxing tent and won 240 plus fights, against women and blokes. There has […]
I Find This Somewhat Hard to Believe
This is the Stewards report from the meeting at which all the races were put back hours. The stipes say that the reason was to accommodate for the race day clerks to arrive on course. Where do they live? Mars? A better question might be who their relatives are, blood or otherwise. In any event, […]
