Some old, ugly ex-boxer bastard in a Spiderman hat that his grandson picked for him, cuddling his mates Matt and JC’s dog Little Byrnes New Zealand has woken up to what Australians should have years earlier. That animal activists who oppose greyhound racing have no place on the board of a greyhound racing health and […]

There were seven starters in the seventh race at Warrugal on cup night tonight. All of them were trained by Andrea Dailly. She got the trifecta of course, and the first four. And the first seven too. It’s almost like Tasmanian harness racing. Except Ben Yole would have found a way to get beat.
Trainer John Catton, dressed in his handler’s outfit for next week As predicted, the Black Flash blitzed them in his heat of the Golden Ticket tonight. The dream of my two great childhood mates The Eagle and JC is alive and kicking like Hasim El-Masri. Little Byrnes is into the $60 000 four x match […]
