Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I very rarely watch anything on TV except races and sport. Last night I made an exception. I watched the first 2 episodes of Harry and Meghan on Netflix. It was absolutely brilliant. All the crap you are reading about this pair of love birds is exactly that. Crap. They are the bomb. Set all […]
We told you some months ago that TasRacing CEO Paul Erikkson had been sacked from his job. In a more recent article early last month we repeated our claims of his sacking, and questioned how the man could have been subsequently appointed as CEO or the trouble plagued peak body of the gallops sport Racing […]
This is my wife Maggie’s great-grandfather, Herbert Charles Cull, aka Aiden De Brune, a once famous Australian author. From 1921 to 1924 he spent two years walking around Australia, becoming the first person ever to do so in the process. In 1920 he was working as a journalist at the Bunbury Herald when suddenly he […]
I am not sure if the New Zealanders have noticed, but the past three editions of their biggest harness race The Cup has been won by horses owned by Australians.

There’s no spangle in Skippy is there? Singing AAF like this should a Commonwealth offence. It’s certainly an offence against the Average Australian dignity. None of us truly love the anthem, but it’s ours. When we sing the bits we know, we do it gusto. Passion. Love of the wattle and the green and gold. […]
Good morning One has to wonder how Paul Eriksson could be appointed to the position of CEO of Racing Australia. As a Tasmanian he leaves Tasmanian racing in a disgrace. The Trots hang on to existence by a thread, and the person who is doing the sewing (Ben ‘Chainsaw’ Yole) would in any other industry […]
He didn’t save the 649 Argies and Falkland Islanders that the Queens troops killed either Irreverence is my middle name. My first is Archibald. It’s a family name passed down from my ancestors Buchanan. Sheehan is the last name, my birth one anyway. It’s from County Cork, and is supposed to mean peaceful. They got […]
