We often talk about trainers extraordinary winning strike rates on this site, but none we have ever seen match the numbers being recorded by English trainer Charlie Appleby and stable rider William Buick’s at Meydan racecourse in Dubai. Appleby is training winners to runners this season at the extraordinary strike rate of 44%, a figure […]
NSW trot trainers Jason Grimson and Seaton Grima are making those in the rest of the country look like mugs, with the pair currently sitting 1-2 on the national metro strike rate list of those trainers who have had more than 10 runners in the season.

The word out of Tasmania is that one of the Ben Yole drivers who only a couple of days ago won his appeal against being warned off has thrown a personal positive swab to cocaine at the Hobart trots tonight? They say the trainer – last name Ford, first initial M – was given the […]
According to the Stewards Summary of the meeting there were no horses swabbed – either pre-race or post, including the winners – in the first six races at Globe Derby last night. Then all of a sudden the swabs came with a bang, four pre-race and a post in race 7, and two pre-race and […]
Cone snail venoms are considered a treasure trove of bioactive peptides. Despite over 800 species of cone snails being known, each producing over 1000 venom peptides, only about 150 unique venom peptides are structurally and functionally characterized. To overcome the limitations of the traditional low-throughput bio-discovery approaches, multi-omics systems approaches have been introduced to accelerate […]
Can you believe that this little snail produces the venom that works many times better as a nerve blocker and painkiller than morphine does, and when synthesized and structurally altered was until recently swab proof?

At 6 out of 1o the past ten TAB gallops meetings in QLD there have been six horses pre-race swabbed.

Three was the […]

The prosed new rules appear to set a limit under which the drugs […]
How the hell did Sir Jason Grimson put an extra second of speed into the legs of Outside Fighter in the space of a few days, without making any gear changes. No notified ones at least. But there were gear changes, don’t you worry about that. It just wasn’t gear that you can see with […]
