Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Tarrant posted this after I wrote a story a few months back imploring his ‘friends’ to help get him off the gear. I’ve known plenty of glass pipe jockeys in my time, and understand how the chemical crap snaps their synapses and f**ks their brain, so I didn’t take it personally. Even if I had, […]
Pioneer drugs, generics, and compounded medications each play a role in equine care. Understanding how these drug categories are regulated can give horse owners greater confidence in the safety, efficacy, and reliability of the medications their veterinarian prescribes. Pioneer Drugs: The Path to FDA Approval Pioneer drugs are the original, FDA-approved animal health products brought to […]
There is a real curious case that the NZ Racing Integrity Board (RIB) are dealing with right now. It involved the former Commonwealth Games weightlifter turned one time jockey cum trainer Cody Cole, who quite amazingly it transpires has almost 100 horses under his care. Cole took a bunch of horses to trackwork at Matamata […]
The sad mail drifting through this morning is that former star jockey Luke Tarrant’s appearance in the Caloundra Magistrates Court yesterday was on multiple armed robbery charges, of course drug related. You could see that train wreck coming a mile away. We are told Tarrant has been refused bail. Poor little bugger. Let’s hope they […]

Last week we told you about the absolutely incredible and amazing performance improvement of a mare named Shes A Warrawee since it came to QLD and the Mitchell Dawson stable. This Shit Ain’t Real – But it Is We told you that what had just happened by the mare wasn’t real. Horses don’t get that […]
Dean Chapple is a drug cheat. We all know that. I wouldn’t give two cents for the bloke. He’s a plucky little rooster though, that I gave to give him. Chapple came back last night from his long spell for giving a shot horse painkillers. Bang. A winner from his first drive. Buddy Perfect. That […]
Back to Jason Grimson’s incredible 5 for 5 record at Menangle last Saturday night, and I want to talk again about Rakero Rocket’s amazing win in 1.47.3 at his first start for the master trainer’s stable. I heard last night that it was the second fastest time ever run in Australia, behind only My Field […]
