Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Stewards are satisfied with the bona fides of the ownership of beaten Stradbroke Handicap favourite Azkadellia, despite the stable having been indirectly linked to international conman Peter Foster. Foster’s niece, Arabella, has raced four horses under the title of Arabella Racing, all trained by Ciaron Maher. Attempts to link Foster to the ownership are understood […]
The Melissa Caddick inquest has turned into a circus. I guess her whole life always was. Her husband – widow/widower? – Anthony Koletti’s evidence is all over the place, and it is sort of sad to watch. A lot people, including some of the cops, thought/think that he topped her or helped her disappear. There […]
Trainer Frankie Stockdale is a recovering alcoholic. There is no cure for alcoholism. Abstinence is the only answer. Stockdale knows it better than anyone. Two weeks prior to Xmas in 1999 he jumped in his car at 3.30am after an all night and into the morning booze session and drove home, or tried to anyway. […]
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.

Don’t their bail conditions contain no contact conditions, and restrictions about intoxication? I guess the pair […]
This is the video of a 15-year-old kid attacking a pregnant woman pushing a pram with her two babies in it in Perth yesterday. The poor woman. How can anyone do this to another human being? To a pregnant women with babies in a pram? If a kid that young can be so depraved as […]
The Sovereign Pontiff John Paul II, in the Audience of March 28, 2003, approved the present Considerations, adopted in the Ordinary Session of this Congregation, and ordered their publication. Joseph Card. Ratzinger Prefect Sometimes I wonder whether the old boys who run racing are insane. Friday night at Addington was one of them. On this […]
It’s true. Gerald Ryan has got his. If you had to paint a picture of a sicko pedo, it would look exactly like this. That’s because it is what it is. A portrait of a drunk who gets his jollies from doing shit things to young men, all for his own perverse pleasure. Sorry, sorry, […]
THE shenanigans of four protestors chaining themselves to the running rail at Cannington on Saturday night threw the night’s racing schedule into chaos. While all the attention on Perth was at Optus Stadium, very little air time has been given to the lunatics who were promptly marched away by police. The police arrived from Cannington […]
