Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Justice John Bowman on the Victorian Racing Tribunal’s penalty decision in the Darren Weir case is to be handed down on Friday morning. Just for a lark we though we’d frame a few markets on what sentence Weir gets. ALL IN BETTING $3.00 NO PENALTY In this scenario Weir gets no penalty over and above […]
As hard as this may be to believe, the horse pictured – the team Yole trained 11yo Hez Razor Sharp – last raced only 16 days ago at a meeting in Launceston. It was his 299th race start, and to no-one’s surprise given the condition that the horse is in, it finished 2nd last in […]
I can understand the driver of the leader in this race Tom Ison getting a little bit preturbed at the horse behind him running up onto his helmet. Anyone would. But most people wouldn’t cock their neck and give the horse a reverse head butt like Ison did, and for very good reasons too, concern […]

On Monday we published a story titled Jigger Me Timber – Is It True That … In this story we posed the questions about whether it was true that …. a tool of a trainer turned up at his local track to work his horse the other day accompanied by a work rider who doubles […]
This local rule of racing introduced in QLD late last year for reasons of protecting the welfare of racing animals is pretty easy to understand. A horse cannot race more than 5 times in 30 days unless it is granted permission by the Stewards. It’s a shame that someone forgot to tell the Stipes. This […]
During the week we made trenchant criticism 0f the HRNSW for seemingly failing to take tissue samples from the body of the pacer Saginaw after he was euthanised on track at Menangle following an alleged colic attack. Less than a week later, on the opposite side of country, another pacer had the terrible misfortune to […]
