Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The trial date for a New Zealand trot trainer accused of sexual abuse has been set for 18 February, which by strange coincidence is the first day of the NZB yearling sales. That means that there will be one person less doing the bidding. There will be many questions asked about the trainer’s ongoing participation […]
Scott Iremonger was a licensed junior driver until he got bashed from behind in a sneak attack bt=y 2 blokes in the toilets at Westport. Now a few weeks later he hasn’t got a license. You’d hate to think young Iremonger threw his license in because of the assault, and concern for his safety in […]
You’ve heard of post office robberies, and bank jobs, and cocaine imports, and illegal tobacco hauls, but I bet you’ve never heard of the Great Rock N Roll Blueberry Heist have you? It was pulled just over a week ago in Hawkes Bay in New Zealand. Over the course of three nights a bunch of […]

The jury in the Brittany Higgins case cannot come to an agreed decision of whether her colleague Bruce Lehrmann raped her or not. I am not surprised. The only thing that is surprising is that some of the jurors still want to convict him. How the hell could you? There is no way in the […]
What you see above is the lawyers for the New Zealand Racing Integrity Board’s response to trot owner Tim Vince and his non- harness racing participant neighbour’s complaint about officials of the RIB trespassing upon their properties to conduct surveillance operations for reason unknown. The RIB declare that integrity chief and former copper Neil Grimstone […]
Hedley Thomas is a good bloke, even if he does keep normal hours and gets annoyed by 2.00am texts and calls, claiming that he’s sleeping even though it’s only lunchtime. He is worse punter than me too, the thought of which always brightens me up at the end of a bad day. At least he’s […]
“Violent and Glorious Revolution! Then again our boy Chomsky debunks the whole radical behaviourism deal that was booming post-WW2 (in short: it’s like me pointing at the sun, saying ‘what’s that?’, and you describing my finger).
