Retired jockey James Winks was seen out earlier this week at the Breakfast Club in Prahran (pictured above) enjoying a convivial lunch with winning rider Ben Allen and others to celebrate Pinstriped’s stirring win in the Memsie. Perhaps it was a bit too convivial at that. Nothing good ever comes from getting on the turps […]
Wayne Hawkes has ridden in about as many races as we have, which gives him no more or less say on the Jamie Kah ride than we have. Our view is clear. Kah is culpable, and she should cop it for failing to take the run. Hawkes disagrees. He reckons that there was no fault […]

It was astounding to see a plunge on the failed 2o23 Melbourne Cup favorite Vauban in the Ascot Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last night. Whoever backed it from $9.oo into $6.00 is an absolute bloody idiot. You could see from last year’s Cup run that Vauban is all spick and no span, and that […]
