Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Not content with world domination in capital cities, the Aaron Bain/Summit Bloodstock/Alex Bashwood octopus has decided to stretch its tentacles to Tamworth, and swallow up all the prizemoney in that trot town too. DJ (Darren) Elder is their man in the hitherto drug free home of the Golden Guitar. I hope he has read the ancient […]
One of NZ trainer Rochelle Lockett’s horses threw a positive swab to methamphetamine – speed or ice – at a recent meeting of the Otaki-Maori Jockey Club (which is a damn fine club with a real good track). No-one is suggesting that Ms Lockett gave the horse meth, or that she has anything to do […]
Ghent is a trotter. He is usually not a very good one. That is because he is slow, and 11 years old. In 10 starts this season until yesterday, this Gaita Pullicino trained old bloke hadn’t run a single place in a race. So it was a surprise when all these folk of Maltese and […]
Barkaway Arnold is a cat. A nice cat, and one who tries his hardest too. But a cat nevertheless. He is 11 years old, and a pacer. Most pacers are well and truly retired at Barkaway Arnold’s age, but not him, because he is consistent. At his past ten starts Arnie has run 1.57.5, and […]
Better Eclipse won the Group 1 Chariots Of Fire at Menangle last night, and gains an automatic entry into the Miracle Mile. It shouldn’t have, for Better Eclipse has got a past. A real shady one too. Craig Hoban used to train the horse. He lost his licence at the end of a glass pipe […]
Twelve days ago Secret King got beaten by 10 and 1/2 lengths in a maiden at Toowoomba. The start before that he got beaten 7.2 lengths in one at Kilcoy, and the run prior to that he ran 9th of 11 beaten ten lengths at Rocky. Yesterday he stepped out in the 2nd race at […]
Aminorex (Menocil, Apiquel, aminoxaphen, aminoxafen, McN-742) is a weight loss (anorectic) stimulant drug. It was withdrawn from the market after it was found to cause pulmonary hypertension. In the U.S., it is an illegal Schedule I drug, meaning it has high abuse potential, no accepted medical use, and a poor safety profile. Aminorex, in the 2-amino-5-aryl oxazoline class, was developed by McNeil Laboratories in 1962. It is closely related […]

What you see above is the recent performance record of a pacer named Hollywood Rooki. Note the tracks, note the draws, note the trainers, note the finishing positions, and note the prices. Why does a horse that has had 31 lifetime starts for just 3 placings at backwater tracks like Leeton, Temora, Albury, Griffith, Canberra […]
