Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I don’t know who this Joel West that posted this rubbish is, but the bloke’s a clown. Ryan Maloney didn’t ride the favorite Royal Mover dead. He gave it a peach of a steer. Sure he didn’t pull the whip on it but what would have been the point? You could see that the horse […]
Japanese tech giant MIXI’s takeover bid for Pointsbet descended into farce this week, after first it was announced that shareholders had approved the bid following Betr’s withdrawal of its proxies and failure to vote, and then it was revealed that Betr had not done this at all and their votes with the 18.9% of shares […]
Kiwi trainer/driver Nigel McGrath is a persistent serial cheat. In 2004 he was disqualified for 3 years (halved on appeal) for using the highly controversial banned performance enhancing drug Blue Magic, in part of a broader scandal that cost two men their lives. Years later he was suspended from driving – but incredibly not from […]
Giles Inwood is a Western Australian trot trainer. He is also a dimwitted perv, a morally bankrupt misogynist, and a f**king idiot beyond compare. The bloke has to be, for who else would post sh*t like that in the picture and believe it to be okay? It’s not okay mate. Immature, degrading to women, vile […]
We are not Facebook friends with WA trot trainer Giles Inwood, and we’re not hackers either. These aren’t private messages, they are public posts that can be viewed by the world at large. If RWWA doesn’t issue this fool a charge under the rules of racing there is something wrong. Inwood has breached the sexual […]
19-year-old Victorian reinsman Ryan Backhouse was suspended for 7 days and fined $100 for using the whip or rein in an unapproved manner on Rio Rock in the 1st race at Mildura on the 26th of February. It seemed a harsh penalty because there was nothing in it. Take a look. Backhouse is in the […]
Dear Archie Recent news is that Wade Birch has resigned his position with Racing New South Wales greyhounds and advised his department that he is relocating back to Qld. However he does not have a job to come back to yet. Few jobs going though that he might slot into…. Noel from Narrabri Editor’s note […]
US jockey Paco Lopez did his very best to bring racing into disrepute on the weekend at the Parx track in Pennsylvania. The video of his wanton cruelty has gone viral around the world. Lopez had been immediately and indefinitely suspended. His ultimate stretch will be long.
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 […]
