Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Remember Rake 8 at Townsville 18 months back? The one where someone left a rake in front of the boxes before a race, and it flew in the air and almost caused a catastrophe? Well human error happens even though in an ideal world it wouldn’t. But the rake has nothing on this race at […]
Tasmania’s leading greyhound trainer and king of cruelty Anthony Bullock is noticeably absent for the 2nd meeting this week. Bullock never misses a meeting. There is a big storm blowing, but for the moment I can’t tell you why. Watch this space though. And batten down the hatches.
Tasmania’s premiership winning greyhound trainer Anthony Bullock, the man who hangs Ben Yole’s shot horses from trees to drain their blood before cutting them up with a chainsaw and feeding them to his dogs, always has multiple entries at each greyhound meeting that held in the State. There is a meeting at Launceston tonight. Bullock […]
Yesterday’s debacle in which two-thirds of the Hamilton trot card was bumped from its scheduled spot on Sky 1 to accommodate a gallops meeting at Gilgandra should be sounding alarm bells all across the harness racing world, and causing urgent meetings of the peak body HRA to be called so that State bodies and their […]
There is a Ben Yole in New Zealand greyhound racing too. His name is John McInerney, and like Chainsaw he is a bum who achieves results not by ability, but by sheer weight of numbers. That and cutting corners on animal welfare standards, and racing dogs until they drop, and then making them disappear. McInerney […]
Andrew Symons hit on the try hard streaker was good, but a bit high. Sam Kerr’s shoulder charge on the idiot who invaded the soccer field was grand, but the shoulder charge has been banned. The guard at the Gold Coast NRL game’s body slam tackle was good too. Not as good as the Kiwi […]
Where else in the world would you want to be tonight other than at the Wentworth Park dogs? For the twenty bucks it costs you to get through the gate you get to see the best greyhound racing has to offer at an inner city venue, and have the chance of turning your turnstile lobster […]
Since when do we take advice on morals and ethics from two bit hookers? Look if people want to be vegans that’s their business, just as it is mine to choose to eat medium rare steaks. It’s a free world, and people can do whatever they want to as long it is legal and it […]
Everyone imagines that harness racing in Perth is flying, and until an hour ago I did too. Why wouldn’t you? The prizemoney is up there with the best in the country, the two feature races are worth three-quarters of a mil, the horses are strong, and the owners are cashed up and willing and ready […]
Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club CEO Luke Gatehouse (pictured right at top, with Racing QLD board rep for the dogs Dale Cartwright) is an outstanding racing administrator, and a huge asset to the sport. He doesn’t get the plaudits or the publicity that Peter V’Landys attracts, but he should, and would if only he didn’t operate […]
