Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Check this one out. It’s the last race at Menangle on Tuesday. There are only two possible chances in the race. One of them is the $1.20 favorite in betting Peaceful, the other is Jewel Melody at $3.50. The next closes horse in the betting is at $34.00. Jewel Melody beats Peaceful by a half […]
Fair dinkum bro. If you can get a vet to say that your horse has abnormal excretion rates like the Kiwi gallops trainer Todd Mitchell did, then you can not only escape a 3-month stint on the sidelines and a $500 fine like QLD greyhound trainer Allan Svensen copped, you can escape a charge completely.

What you see above is an excerpt from a recent Victorian Racing Tribunal decision in the cases of trainer/drivers Zac Phillips, Tayla Nicholson and Rob O’Connell.

In a complete sensation, every Ben Yole trained runner has been scratched from Cranbourne tonight, all six of them.

The horse in question had recently been transferred to Yole from the stable of Aaron Bain […]
Do you remember us telling you about how the crooked young New Zealand trot driver Carter Dalgety – who is closely linked to the stables of Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor and Jason ‘Jill’ Grimson – brought performance enhancing drugs home from Menangle in shampoo bottles, and then won a race by 10 lengths with a mule, […]

It’s best winning time was 2.00.0. It is strongly rumoured that prior to the running of Trixton Time’s race, the […]
Exactly a week before yesterday the imported 4YO mare Princess Leia had sat 3 fence and gone like a mule in finishing fifth. She has every chance, and was just plain ordinary. Her final splits were 28.62 and 27.9,0 for a personal mile rate of 1.54.86 Yesterday at Menangle the same mare ripped around the […]
Let’s look at the NZ blood spinning/spun blood injectabales practice from a positon of logic. Ask, why would one do it, given the relatively high cost of doing it – it being said on Trackside to be $850 +gst per spinning, and additional vet cost to take the blood, costs to transport it to Christchurch, […]
The word on the street is that trainer Mark Currie – who many suspect bowls for his son Ben – has thrown a positive swab to cocaine. End Assembly is the name of the horse, and it is said to have thrown the positive at Eagle Farm on the 17th of December 2022. Pre-race it […]
We wrote this about Phil Burrows, the cheat who along with the human Matty A not the horse (see story to follow) had been caught red handed drenching a horse of his who was racing that day on the NZ Cup card in an event worth $140 000, money that he was breaking the rules […]
