Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What you see below is an extract from a 280 page 2018 report into integrity in Australian sport. The report focused on human athletes, but horses are mammals too and it equally applies. It goes some way toward explaining the genius of Jill Grimson I am sure. Note the Clenbuterol reference. 6.1 PERFORMANCE AND IMAGE […]
The Racing Appeals Panel were kind enough to give old Alan Donohoe – the once young man who drove the great QLD pacer of the 1970’s Peter Profit, after whom this site is named – a stay of proceedings 0n his 6 month DQ for hitting his horse The Hummer with painkillers. What’s hilarious is […]
Patrick Swayzee, the Jill Grimson of harness racing If anyone had told you 3 months ago after he ran last beaten 35m in a weak NR70 race at Redcliffe that Swayzee would win the Group 3 Mr Feelgood beating the best Open Class horses from 3 different states, you would have smiled and nodded and […]
The Chris Munce race day treatment inquiry has been left in an absolute mess. It is a train wreck, to put it politely. Munce had been charged and pleaded guilty to a race day treating offence.

Testifying as a witness with immunity from prosecution, Dinesh Kumar Daswani, a Hong […]
The drug testing team were out in force at Alexandra Park last night, but this time it was the humans participants they were testing, not the animals. We hear that at least one, and possibly more, drivers may soon to be finding themselves in a world of pain when the test results are confirmed. Watch […]
Well as someone who has snorted a few white lines in my time, I have to say that these ones cut out by Jamie Kah are rubbish. Someone – by experience some already coked up “it’s my gear so I get the largest line” snow hog, who by convention is usually the chopper, in this […]
Jason ‘Jill’ Grimson gives all the appearance of being a nice young bloke. He’s polite, softly spoken, and sounds like the brilliant horseman that so many believe him to be. That blonde sheila in America who has just gone to jail for 11 years for selling blood tests that don’t work seemed like a genius […]
I’ve always been a double down man at the blackjack table when I’ve got a two card 11 against a 5, that’s just the way I am. So in the face of Mark Jones legal threats, I will double down on him too. Jones is either the greatest trainer in the world, or the NZ […]
