Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
You can see what has happened with all these arrests. The NSW cops were all over Tatts (Justin Downey) and his wife for alleged high level dealing. They had phone intercepts obtained under warrant on them both, and in the process of listening learned of the alleged Tasmanian supply link. So after they had sat […]
It appears that we got the detail of jockey Corey Bayliss legal troubles slightly wrong in our earlier story. Bayliss has not been charged with breaching a Domestic Violence Order as we stated in the story.

Hass Taiba (pictured above with the horse) is best known in racing circles as the former owner of one-time star pacer Captain Ravishing, which was sold to one of Mr Brightside’s part owners earlier this year and transferred to WA.

Stephen Stanek wasn’t much of a horse trainer, leading in just 2 winners from 75 runners in the decade between 2010 and 2020 that he held a license. Stanek doesn’t seem like much of a bloke either according to the report below that appeared in the Toowoomba Chronicle today. There are bad eggs in every […]
