Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Norm Torpey has been around the Queensland stewarding ranks for a long time now, and has held some very senior positions within the ranks of the QRIC and it’s successors (and been demoted from them). Torpey is supposed to be one of the better stipes in the north, but I personally wouldn’t pay two cents […]
Poor old Emma Stewart had on off night at Melton in the semi-finals of the Breeders Crown on Wednesday didn’t she? Stewart managed just six winners from the ten finals she contested, which I am sure you will agree was rather piss poor, a rank failure if you have ever seen one. So was her haul […]
Nathan Jack, Mark Pitt and Lisa Bartley were stood down from racing and charged with a criminal offence when accused of deliberately falsifying a stable return to conceal the true trainer details of a horse at Cobram. Matt Brinsdon did exactly the same thing in New Zealand last month, and has escaped with nothing but […]
You would have to be kidding wouldn’t you? The pacer with the form you see above has just won a race at Redcliffe by more than sixty metres, in a mile rate of 1.56.0. That’s preposterous. Im Plain Jane’s average over it’s past 10 starts has been 2.02.6. It has just run almost 100 metres […]
See this pacer Mach Quillan in the photo above, the one in race 9 at Geraldine that was backed from $9.00 into $3.20 on the NZ TAB fixed price, and plunged similarly if not more with the TAB and the corporates in Australia? It won by four and a half lengths, under triple wraps. The […]
I think we might have seen the last Alligator Blood, or if all was fair in love, war and racing we should have anyway. The Alligator was terrible in the listed Loch Neagh today, absolutely atrocious. Baylee Nothdurft gave him a great run on the leaders back, and for about a tenth of a second […]
The hot of the press mail is that NZ RIB (Racing Integrity Board) officials have today turned up without notice to the stables of three of Woodend Beach’s leading trainers, including that of one of the highest profile names in the game. At this stage we can only guess at the reasons why, but when […]
This vile abuse reproduced above was hurled at a long time harness racing owner and participant who six months ago dared to suggest that NZ trainer Cam Jones incredible success and world class strike rates achieved during his first 3 months in the pro ranks may have had more to do with injections of PED’s […]
Dear Sir I write to confirm that I called you from Australia 5 minutes hence at my own expense to inquire as to the specifics of your non-particularised threat to sue me for reasons that I am not aware of. I confirm that I asked you to provide me with particulars of your client’s foreshadowed claim against […]
Gee, I could have sworn I attempted to contact Andrew Fitzgerald three times before publishing the story about him lagging up Cam Jones. That’s what my phone records say anyway. I could have sworn that I asked him 3 times to call me back and he never did too. Clearly the drug cheats from the […]
