Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Royce Gregory-Jack doesn’t drive a lot, but being by David Jack out of Mrs Jack he’s been around horses his whole life, and he has won 3 J.C. Caffyn Indigenous Driver’s Plates at Menangle during his career, so he must be at the very least a competent reinsman who knows what he’s doing in the […]
Harry Ovens was backed as if unbeatable in the 3rd race at Globe Derby tonight. When old Jakes Sportwriter went to the front and planted Harry stranded on his back the plunge looked lost. And then this happened. Did the junior driver Declan Whelan simply stuff up by making a mistake? Probably. But gee it […]
I was chatting to a couple of mates just before the Southern Star final at Melton, and we were all wondering why the hell Nathan ‘Cracker’ Jack chose barrier 10 on the back row instead of picking 6 on the front when he drew his marble and had the pick of three. It only took […]
Archie Just a personal opinion, but out of all the drivers in on this Ben Yole fix do we really think it’s fair to consider punishing Corey Bell, when he is the only person capable of putting a stop to the Yole nightmare having witnessed both concentration camps Yole’s in Tasmania and Yole/Walters in Victoria, […]
The House is the junior driver Wilson House. He’s in the death seat as the film rolls. The Horse is the one directly behind him. It’s name is Caulfield. I wonder if it has a sore head tonight? By the way, the Kiwi stewards missed it completely. It didn’t even get a mention in their […]

Race day practices It has been submitted that Yole stable horses, on race days, can be required to stand on horse floats and/or be tied up for an extended period of time of up to 16 hours. For example, for a Hobart race meeting, it has been submitted that horses are often loaded at around […]
Leading New Zealand trot driver John ‘Lurch’ Dunn has been hit with 16 substantial rule breach charges in the past 28 months, and has been found guilty of 15 of them. Most were repeat offences, either careless driving of some sort or improper whip use. In the criminal justice system offenders who are given an […]
Stewards inquired into the reasons Aqua Cruiser (Angus Garrard) shifted out in the back straight on the final occasion when leading, which afforded Tactfilly Miracle (Adam Richardson) an opportunity to obtain a run to the inside which was trailing Aqua Cruiser at that point in the event, and gain a substantial advantage leaving the 550metres […]
Further to our story about Luke McCarthy’s rumored move to the US, a knowledgeable reader wrote in to say the following: It’s a very big stretch to say that Dexter Dunn and the two McCarthy brothers aren’t in the top 50 drivers in the USA. Admittedly on their number of wins they aren’t, but on […]
