Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
As we used to shout in the dressing room at Emerson Park after footy games, James Herbertson didn’t win the Ultimate Drivers Challenge. He sh*t in. Herbie won 6 of the 20 races in the series, and finished more than 50 points ahead of his closest rivals, who all finished clumped in a bunch. His […]
Passing the bell with a lap to go in the Ultimate Drivers Championship, and Herbie is the lead, with nine points ahead of G. Hall Jr and Cam Hart, with a further five back to Angus Garrard, who had a very good first night considering the cattle he had underneath him. Herbie is going to […]
Watch this race above and keep your eye on horse number 2, the one in the teal and grey behind the leader. Its Five Oclock Gerry, driven by Nathan Dawson. See it go inside the marker pegs? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of them. You’ve have to be blind to miss it. The QRIC Stewards […]
What the hell is this long and detailed Stewards report that ends nowhere at all about? I reckon they are targeting the Livingstone’s, for no good reason at all. Brent Livingstone’s twin is having a presently having a few problems with the police and the law, but I am not my brother’s keeper, and Clint […]

Restricted areas are off-limits for valid reasons. In simple terms, it is unsafe for individuals without the proper experience and licensing to be in proximity to horses weighing […]
Albion Park’s new starting method – walk up starts behind the clerk The trot Stewarding circus rolled on at Albion Park on Saturday night, and this time it featured a comedy act. Race starter Mr J. Suli pushed the wrong button as he released the field in Race 6. Suli turned the red light on […]
The breakdown of the sectional times from Saturday night’s Race of the Century in Blacks A Fake tells us a number of salutary tales. The first one is how truly brilliant Leap To Fame is. Larry was forced to cover 32m more ground than the winner Don Hugo and 15m more than the third-placed […]
Shane Graham is a leopard. He never changes his spots. Rock Supreme was backed from $21 into $10 in race 1 at Albion Park. It started from the inside row in 8, with Bronski Zulu drawn in front of it in 1. Graham drove the Zulu, but he didn’t drive it to win. He drove […]
