Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Bobo the greatest show on turf has managed to pull off a masterstroke. Preparing a horse to race on a four day preparation. Up until 8.58am today (Wednesday) the horse Seventies Hit had been spelling. But the miracle worker that Bobo is has decided the Open 1250m at Cairns on Sunday with only four original […]
All seven of Seaton Grima’s runners at Menangle tonight have been scratched, we suspect by order of the Stewards. An unannounced stable inspection – call it a raid – of Grima’s stables was conducted by the HRNSW integrity crew on Thursday morning. It would seem remarkable if the Stewards visit and the scratching of the […]
Just take a look at these ‘starts’ at Gloucester Park last night. They aren’t starts. They’re a joke. The horses on the front line haven’t scored up properly. Those drawn the inside are up on the gate, the ones drawn to their outer aren’t. They are supposed to be. None of these races were started […]
I want to take you back to the TAB meeting at Ewan in QLD last Friday, the first day of the tiny former mining site turned ghost town’s two day carnival of racing. It is race 6 that we are interested in. This is the finish close up, taken from a still shot of the […]
Archie Point taken with regards to COT (change of tactics) Batemans Bay in race 5 at Mackay on Saturday, but a five horse race around Ooralea of which comprised two legless goats in comparison to a fifteen horse race at Cluden Park on Townsville Cup day is apples and oranges all things considered.

There are a lot of questions being asked about Blake Shinn’s ride on the beaten favorite Somethings Burnin’s in the second race at Sandown yesterday, and with very good reason to, because the jockey slaughtered it. This horse should have won by panels, and it was straight down to Shinn’s steer that it didn’t. Shinn […]
This is the head on replay of the run down the home straight in race 2 at Townsville on Sunday. You have to watch it to understand the rest of the story. It’s short and quick. Ryan Wiggins – who only the day before had copped an 8 day suspension for careless riding in Cairns […]
Four other Jockey Club stipendiary stewards – Jamie Andrew Stier, Kam Shiu-bor, Tony Lam Tsun-hin and Martin Maxwell Knibbs – also testified that they did not question Fradd’s riding and believed he was only ‘settling the horse’ in the early stage of the race – www.scmp.com/article/397408/i-had-hold-horse-back-safety-says-fradd Oh dear. Martin Knibbs was once a senior racing […]
Albion Park starters J. Petersen and J. Suli were the officials whose job it was to check the brands and identities of horses running at the Creek on the night recently that a mare was allowed to start as a gelding of a different name.
