Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
For years, scientists are baffled by the question of whether plants can feel pain or not. A team of scientists from Tel Aviv University may have the answer to that question, as they discovered that some plants can emit a high-frequency distress sound when in environmental stress.

The hot word is that the ABC is about to air footage of a leading South Australian greyhound trainer beating the crap out of a number of dogs. It’s said that a disgruntled ex-employee or associate narked the trainer to the ABC for mistreating animals. Good. This sort of criminal behavior should be exposed. The […]
Re your story earlier about what happens to all the old or slow horses that didn’t sell at the Nutrien Winter Woolies auction, here’s a tip. Don’t just watch the passed in ones, watch out also for the future of the broodmares in the auction that sold for less than the service fee of the […]
A couple of days ago we told how the previously healthy pacers Eight Carat, Juggernaut and Steam Punk died in training on the Byford track. Well would you believe it Jesus has turned up and – mistaking them for Lazarus – raised these 3 horses from the dead. The Stewards must have known that the […]
There were 190 lots offered at last month’s Nutrien ‘Winter Woolies’ sale. Only 68 of them sold. 117 didn’t sell. The rest were withdrawn. Here is the challenge.

Chynna Marston is squealing like a stuck pig, blaming everyone except herself for the dilemma she now finds herself in as the inquiry into her treatment of retired racehorses in her care continues to roll on like a slow train, through no-one’s fault but she and her partners, who threw a sickie yesterday and caused […]
Watch the film clip at the link at the bottom. Then tell me that this type of animal abuse doesn’t deserve a jail sentence. I bet you can’t. ———————————————— A professional rider whose abuse of her horse at an A&P show disgusted observers has failed to get either a discharge without conviction or have her name […]
Half the people I know over 60 are these days using CBD oil. It comes from the same plant as marijuana, but it doesn’t get you high. What it does is help with symptoms of arthritis, chronic pain generally, and the side of effects of chemo and cancer. It’s a sort of wonder drug that […]
Yesterday morning we write about how the Murrihy inquiry report is supposed to be handed down by the end of this week. Late yesterday arvo it is announced that the report’s delivery has been put back by 8 weeks. You have to start suspecting that fix is in don’t you? We certainly not, but there […]
