Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There is a huge holler and hoopla about yesterday’s Nutrien announcement of a $1.25 million race night at Melton on the 13th of April next year, but what does it all actually mean? What are the prize purses for each race? Nutrien had already promised national series races worth a minimum of $975 000. Is the […]
Two Bob Rob – Robert Marshall, the former Latin master at the posh eastern suburbs Sydney school Kambala that my cousins attended while he was there, turned Chairman of Menangle and the APG – recently issued this press release claiming that APG had a new management team, one that by reasonable inference didn’t include the […]
There is a rumor floating around that says that everyone’s favorite water thief and fallen star witness in spurious court cases brought against me, Mr Dean Baring, has been ejected from the APG jet plane without a parachute. This scandalous gossip has it that the APG have finally woken up in the morning and noticed […]
The APG 2YO finals are worth $500 000 each, but it doesn’t all go to the owners. For reasons totally beyond my understanding, $100 000 of the half million goes in $10 000 lots to the breeders of the horses that start in the races . Now in my view this is just plain stupid, […]

Expressions of Interest Exciting times lay ahead for Australian Pacing Gold (APG) in 2024 as we call for Expressions of Interest to sell harness yearlings in Queensland, Western Australia and again in Victoria. APG is Australia’s industry-owned non for profit yearling sales company with a proven sales record spanning many years and in 2023 held successful sales […]
Our mail, which is accurate, is that the APG spent $57 000 to hire the Magic Millions complex for yesterday’s yearling sale. It only made $83 000 from commissions on the sales, before expenses. That leavers $26 000 left over. Sadly for the true believers, that wouldn’t even pay the wages and costs to put […]
36 yearlings went through the sales ring at the APG auction at the Gold Coast yesterday. Only 19 of them were sold. None of the 17 others reached their reserve prices, which in most cases were set at dollars they couldn’t possibly achieve. But each of these 17 are deemed to be sold, and are […]
