Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Well, well, well. The Government kicks in almost half of the revenue of the Recycled Racehorses rehoming charity founded by Chynna Marston, chaired by her de-facto husband, and co-directed by her mum. What a cracker. Has Chynna’s charity really spent the $20 grand that it claims was for food and agistment on those particular things? […]
We have been subjected to a degree of online abuse this evening, which is okay by us within the limits of how it was thrown, for we believe in free speech and expression of opinion, as long as it free and fair and doesn’t involve calling being rock spiders. But in light of this reaction […]
Can you believe this? Ben Yole’s mate the greyhound trainer who hangs horses from trees has for years been training 100 dogs on a property only approved for 16. The Council let him off on certain conditions. One is that he doesn’t cut up Yole’s unwanted horses at his place. I guess they will have […]
It seems I was wrong when I wrote that Anthony Bullock would have to shoot Ben Yole’s unwanted trotters and cut them up with chainsaws at his place now that the Council has banned him from doing it at his kennels at Tamar Valley. I wasn’t aware until today that in late 2020 Bullock had […]
Racing New South Wales will meet with local horse racing figures in Ballina this morning for an inquiry into allegations of animals abuse against a local horse trainer. Racing NSW Chairman of Stewards, Steve Railton, confirmed that an inquiry would be held today in Ballina but did not elaborate on the subject of the meeting. […]
Racing Queensland are lauding trainer/driver Doug Lee as some sort of legend of the game. It would help if the spin doctors knew a little bit of history. Back then it wasn’t easy to get convictions on animal cruelty charges. But D. Lee was convicted nevertheless. I wonder if he would ever have got his […]
This innocent young looking Asian ‘bloodstock agent’ Victoria Wang has purchased a large number of pacers from New Zealand to take over and ‘race’ in China. It’s total bullshit. I am not 100% certain why the Chinese are buying standardbreds, but I am 100% certain that it is not to race as V. Wang claims. […]
From owning a couple of hot pot restaurants to exporting hundreds of Kiwi thoroughbreds to China, billionaire Lin Lang has created plenty of intrigue in racing and politics. But Lang’s New Zealand company – Inner Mongolia Rider Horse Industry – is in receivership. The horse exports have stopped, putting a market potentially worth many millions of dollars […]
I have no idea what the driver of the horse in the 1-1 Jonny Cox was thinking when he turned a repeatedly punched the horse behind him in this race, but I am sure he will have plenty of time to reflect on his actions as he serves what should be a lengthy suspension or […]
Julia Creek based trainer Tanya Parry is lauded by Racing Queensland as the savior of racing in the far north-west of the State. She probably is too. But if Parry is, then I don’t reckon racing up there is worth saving. I went back a year to see where Tanya Parry’s horses that raced on […]
