Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This appears in todays Courier-Mail. ————————————————– Besieged RSPCA Queensland boss Darren Maier has told staff he is ‘okay’ and vowed to ‘stand up and defend’ the organisation against what he calls an ‘assault’ on its reputation. Mr Maier, Chief Executive, wrote to the RSPCA’s 400 employees on Tuesday following News Corp’s revelations of turmoil within the […]
The Racing Victoria report into the death of Anthony Van Dyck in The Cup is a total and utter farce, a sick joke played upon everyone in the sport of racing. The simple fact is that this horse should never have been allowed to race, either of his connections or by the vets employed by […]
As you can see from the Stewards report above driver Michael A. Smith hocked Celestial Trekker – kicked him hard up the arse – multiple times in the preliminary to race 7 at Globe Derby on Saturday night. It appeared pretty clear to me – and let me be clear this is simply my opinion […]
The Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds has renewed calls for a ban on greyhound racing after two more deaths on Bundaberg tracks.

PETA – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals – are the enemy of the racing industry. They hate us, and want to shut us down. We’re cruel, wicked torturers they reckon, animal exploiters and speciests of the worst kind. What’s a speciest you ask? A person who believes that humans run the world, not […]
The Federal Government plans to kill more than 10 000 horses over the next five years. Wild bush horses. Colts from old Regret. Two thousand a year, and their kids too. This is okay apparently, humane. A bullet in the head fired from an assassin in a helicopter, that might land on the target and […]
This was one of Ben Yole’s two winners at Hobart last night. Aaron Bain is the leading light of the South Australian harness racing scene, which shows how bad the industry is going. We’ve written heaps about him – read it here – and soon we will write more about the rort with the Gawler […]
Ben Yole had 52 of the 84 starters in the eight races run at Hobart last night. He won just 2 of them. In one of them he trained 5 of the 9 runners, in the other he trained 9 of 11. Yole managed to lose two races in which he had 9 of the […]
Emilio Rosati is probably the third richest owner in harness racing, behind Clive Palmer and Kevin Seymour A.M.
