Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
David Fowler ballsed up more photos today that a man in a gay sauna with an underwater camera. It’s a weird analogy I know, for David can hardly see, as we all saw yesterday at Eagle Farm when he failed to pick some of the easiest photo finish results in history. One he missed by […]
I was waiting at the Cairns train station the other day waiting to pick up some friends coming back from Kuranda so I could drive then up to Port Douglas when an announcement came through that the loco was going to be delayed for a couple of hours, so I ducked across the road to […]
Doesn’t dear old Uncle Vince look like a man who is keen on young lads? He smiles like shark. Vince used to take my mate Milton’s spinster aunty to mass and as his plus one at functions. He still believes it was just because Mr Curry didn’t want to get tied down to one woman. […]
It has come to our attention that despite the rape and sexual assault charges laid against stood down former Albion Park CEO coming to broad public attention, the Brisbane race caller David Fowler continues his long standing tradition of dining at a well known Hamilton restaurant with the man accused of these heinous acts each […]
I have been going there from about the time I could walk, but I’ve always hated racing at Bundamba, the track better known these days as Ipswich. It’s a shithole.

Chris Barsby is the best race caller in Australia. Not trot caller. Race caller. His style can seem formulaic and contrived at times during the low season, but when the big ones come around and it’s on, there is no more exciting caller in the world, or any more accurate either. Barsby is a genius. […]
I’m a huge fan of WA trot caller caller Richard Bell, and have sung his praises on many occasions and described him as Australia’s best in his niche profession. But just lately there have been a few little things that Bell has said or done that have made me stop in my tracks and scratch […]
Do you reckon Johnny Brash isn’t one of the great Australian race callers? Because Bunny calls the dogs a lot of people under-rate how good he really is, but don’t be fooled by their ignorance. J. Brasch is a gun. You try to pick this photo in real live time while verbally painting a vivid […]
A lot of people south of the Tropic of Capricorn have probably never heard of Clive Gordon, which is a real shame, for he was one of the great callers in Australian racing history, and a loyal and devoted stalwart of the the game too. Clive – who was a great mate of Melbourne Cup […]
