Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Gday Archie I quote the submissions tendered by Darren Weirs legal representative Ian Hill KC in a recent article you published. Editor’s note- this below Weir’s barrister, Ian Hill KC, said his client had offered to plead guilty nearly three years ago, but prosecutors rejected the offer and instead pursued conspiracy charges against Weir and […]
Bruce ‘Snowy’ Clark, the author of the stories about Darren Weir that we dissected yesterday, has fired back with a further Racenet article in his own defence. It’s a good one too, real good indeed. All in one article Clark unleashes his vitriol on Peter V’Landys; Damian Oliver; the News Limited press and its journos; […]
Can it be that it was all so simple then? Or has time re-written every line? If we had the chance to do it all again Tell me, would we? Could we? Memories May be beautiful and yet What’s too painful to remember We simply to choose to forget Barbara Streisand Melbourne Cup-winning horse trainer […]
Weir would have to be DQed or warned off wouldn’t he? Who hasn’t been previously for using a jigger? Wallers description of Weir as “addicted to winning” is quite telling but not in the acceptable sense that Waller meant. Everyone enjoys a win, but win too frequently and celebrate too much and the dopamine reward […]
“Look there are obviously things that have been done that I wouldn’t agree with and I don’t know the full circumstances, but I’m not going to sit in judgment like others who want to hang him (Weir) out for life” – Jamie Lovett, Australian Bloodstock “He took it too far, he was obsessed with winning […]

Last night Tasracing sent us their weekly spruik about […]
Ben Yole’s best mate the Tasmanian greyhound trainer Anthony Bullock – who was recently disqualified for life after live baiting after the tail of a pademelon (a small possum sized kangaroo) was found on a lure at his property – has appealed his DQ, claiming that deceitful animal activists had ‘planted’ the tail. It’s a […]
The weather on Saturday in Julia Creek is going to be extreme, with temperatures forecast to rise to 42% throughout the day, yet despite it’s long established heat policy Racing Queensland plans to push ahead with its scheduled 5 race meeting in the town, with the only concession made being that the card will be […]
Take a close look at banned greyhound trainer and Ben Yole mate Anthony Bullock’s hat. Ulverstone Pet Foods. He has to be taking the piss doesn’t he? That or it’s just a case of life imitating art.
It’s wonderful to learn that Racing Queensland has entered into a new $900 000 over 3 years partnership with Save a Horse Australia, the animal protection and rehoming charity headed by the brave horse loving former jockey Laura Cheshire, who was forced out of the saddle a couple of years ago by injury and redirected […]
