One time Sky Channel star Chynna Marston has had her disqualification for animal welfare offences reduced from 7 years to 5 by the NSW Racing Appeals Panel, and her boyfriend Alex Kean has had his cut from 6 to 5 too.

Do you remember us breaking the story a couple of years ago about Adrian Talbot, the brother of the then Wagga Greyhound Club President Ben Talbot, and how he was killing horses and chopping them up to sell to greyhound trainers, including his brother, for dog food?

This is bullshit. For the second time in three starts the Cran Dalgety trained All Of Me went like a broken down bus at Alexandra Park last night, finishing tailed out over 100m in last place. A vet exam replete with an endoscopy revealed no obvious issues. They may not be obvious to the vet, […]
